Now just imagine if this beast found a sockeye or a sandwich or something in the car!

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: King Salmon
Type: Destruction of property
On 8/21/10 John Fundeen, 66, of King Salmon, reported a brown bear had somehow gained entry to a parked vehicle in a residential driveway and caused significant damage. Alaska Wildlife Troopers responded and documented the near total destruction of the vehicle, a 2004 GMC Yukon, to include all seats in the vehicle, both rear doors and a significant portion of the headliners. In addition all four vehicle doors were damaged when the bear made entry and attempted to exit the vehicle. Damage is estimated at over $10,000. No evidence of food or attractants in the vehicle was apparent.

Happy ending, except for the bear

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Beach between Ekuk and Clarks Point
Type: Human remains — unfounded
On 6/19/09 Dillingham-based Alaska State Troopers received a report that a human body washed up on the beach between Clarks Point and Ekuk. Troopers responded via state aircraft and located the intact body. The remains were of a bear, not of a human.
