Colorado bear breaks into car, ‘butt-shifts’ to neutral & drives 100ft down hill

A “delinquent” bear broke into a parked car in Colorado, made it roll 100 feet down a hill, and crashed the vehicle into a tree before disappearing without a trace.
The incident happened on Thursday night. The bear pulled the door open and climbed into an unlocked car somewhere in Boulder County, Colorado, the local sheriff’s office reported.
The door closed behind the animal once it got inside the vehicle. The bear then apparently felt trapped, began frantically working its way out and accidentally “butt-shifted the car into neutral.” The vehicle rolled off the driveway and went 100 feet down a hill. It stopped after hitting a tree, and only then could the bear get out and flee.

A photo from the ‘crime scene,’ shared by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, showed a wrecked hatchback near a tree in the woodlands, with its doors wide open and its interior smashed.
The whole situation serves as “a good reminder to keep your car doors locked, especially in bear country,” police said.
It was not the first time a nosy bear was drawn to a parked vehicle in Colorado. Last year, a security camera in Boulder filmed how an animal approached a car, successfully opened three of its doors, climbed inside and then left.
“Bears get into unlocked cars all the time,” a Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson said at the time.

Colorado police responding to reports of a ‘vehicle trespass’ came upon an unlikely, and terrifying, felon – a bear that managed to break into a car and lock itself inside.
The ‘hangry’ intruder was discovered by deputies from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. Video from the scene of the bizarre break-in was released by police on Thursday and shows officers bracing themselves around the vehicle with weapons raised and calling for the bear to come out.

Clearly not looking for trouble, the bear makes a swift exit out the back of the vehicle and escapes without harm.
“A bear broke into a car and locked himself in. Car 0. Bear 1,” the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. A photo of the strange scene shows the bear staring out of the window at a police officer during its occupation of the vehicle.
It’s believed the bear broke into the car searching for food before unwittingly locking itself inside. Police said the incident is a good reminder that wildlife is out and about this time of year searching for food, and people should take extra care to prevent encounters with peckish creatures.
“Trust us, you don’t want to have to deal with a ‘hangry’ bear,” they warned.
Colorado is known as ‘bear country’ and is home to a large population of black bears. The state’s growing human population has led to more conflicts between the two, resulting in dozens of bear deaths, Colorado Parks and Wildlife told the Denver Post last year.
