Can you imagine what it must be like to find out a bear has hijacked your car and drove it down a hill? All for the love of a PB & J sandwich? To me, it sounds like an episode of Yogi Bear and Boo boo on a hunt for the elusive pic-a-nic basket.
I know that deputies are trained to be ready to handle everything, but can you imagine the surprise they must have felt after shining their flashlights into the car and seeing a mighty cranky big black bear staring right back? Not exactly what you'd expect to find in a car in the middle of the night on someone's property!
CNN reported, "Somehow, the bear had either opened the unlocked back door or pushed a window down to get inside. Understandably agitated, it bumped into the horn repeatedly and eventually knocked the car's gear into neutral. The Toyota rolled down the hill. The door added to the bear's indignity by closing at some point during the ordeal."
After brainstorming on what the best option would be for everyone, including the Yogi Bear wannabe, the deputies decided to tie a really really long rope to the door handle and pull it open and let the bear escape the car. The bear was happy to be free, but annoyed about being trapped in a car for two hours, left a little present on the car seat for everyone. Not to mention, the bear left quite a bit of damage in his/her wake.

Here's a video with interviews and a couple of great snapshots of the shredded car.
My conclusion?
The trailer for the Yogi Bear movie just got a whole lot more believable!
