**BEAR BREAKS INTO PARKED CAR IN COLORADO, SECURITY CAMERA CATCHES IT ALL ON TAPE**

A home security camera in a quiet Colorado neighborhood captured a shocking moment recently, as a bear was seen opening the door to a parked car and climbing inside to rummage through its contents.

The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, when a resident of the neighborhood was reviewing footage from their security camera. The camera, which is mounted outside the resident’s home, captured a clear view of a nearby parking area.

In the footage, a large bear can be seen walking up to a parked car and, in a surprising display of dexterity, opening the door and climbing inside. The bear then begins to root around the car’s interior, likely searching for food.

The homeowner, who wishes to remain anonymous, told local news that they were shocked by what they saw. “I was reviewing the footage and I couldn’t believe my eyes,” they said. “I’ve heard of bears getting into cars before, but I’ve never seen it on camera like this.”

The homeowner reported that the bear appeared to be a large grizzly, and that it seemed to be acting with a sense of purpose as it searched the car.

While bear encounters are not uncommon in Colorado, this incident highlights the importance of securing food and trash in areas where bears are known to roam.

The Colorado Department of Wildlife (CDW) reminds residents and visitors to take precautions to secure their property and prevent encounters with wildlife.

“We encourage everyone to take steps to prevent attracting wildlife to their property,” said a spokesperson for the CDW. “This includes securing trash cans, keeping food and pet food indoors, and being mindful of bird seed and other potential attractants.”

The homeowner reported that they did not suffer any losses as a result of the incident, but that they would be taking steps to secure their property in the future.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of coexisting with wildlife and taking steps to prevent encounters.

**SAFETY TIPS**

* Keep trash cans secure and tightly sealed
* Store food and pet food indoors
* Keep bird seed and other potential attractants secure
* Be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for wildlife

By taking these simple steps, residents and visitors can help prevent encounters with wildlife and keep their communities safe.
