Bear Breaking Into Cars in Steamboat Springs

News Link
There is at least one incident like this reported every year in Colorado. Bears are smart enough to figure out how to press the handle and open a car door but then the door closes after they climb in and they can't figure out how to open it from the inside. Then they go crazy trying to get out and destroy the interior of the car. The photo of the damage to the car in Steamboat is pretty incredible. This is preventable - don't leave food, especially candy or sweets in the car and lock the car and roll up the windows. The same can be said for your living space, lock up. Leaving a fresh baked pie by an open window drives bears insane! Parks and Wildlife claims bears can smell sweets up to 5 miles away.
