Bad News Bears.
From the grin and bear it department, check out these “bear facts.
DATELINE: LAKE TAHOE, California.
It’s in this pristine lake resort town that a big black bear got into a car and then totalled it.
The car was a 2002 Toyota Prius. In that regard, the bear did the family a favor.
The car was parked in the McCarthy family’s driveway.
Somehow the bear broke in. Did he have a key? Did he use a slim jim? Did he crawl through the sun roof? Who the hell knows.
The family swears there were no smoked hams or flap jacks in the front seat. What entices a bear into a 2002 Prius is anybody’s guess.
Was Yogi Bear drunk or high or just pissed? Maybe all of the above because he began eating seats and the gear box and tearing apart everything. Was the dashboard flavord like bacon.
Apparently between his door knob desert, and his leather seat appetizer, big Yogi knocked the car into neutral –
Weeeeee……
Off pretty Prius rolled.
The family watched the absurdity from the cabin window as the Prius rolled down the driveway, across the street, hopped a small rock wall and finally came to a stop on the porch of a neighbor’s house.
“Hey Boo Boo. Smarter than the average bear.”
Ah – not so much.
After the smoke cleared, the bear got out just like he got in and lumbered into the woods, no worse for the wear.
In a published report, car owner, Brian McCarthy says:
“The car was completely closed. There wasn’t any food in there. The only things in there were a beach towel, some CDs and a few phone chargers.”
The local police say they frequently get calls about bears, but not many where the bear is a car thief.
And that is crazy.
