After a bear entered their car and the door closed behind it, it spent the night there.
Wednesday night, Mike and Maria Pilati reported that their car alarm went off when it was parked outside of their Red Lodge, Montana residence. A mother bear had entered the car as her cubs looked on from nearby.
A Montana couple said they are now in the market for a new car. It’s completely trashed.
“Every once in a while you’d hear a crunch. I thought it had a garbage can it was chomping on or something. But it was my car it was crunching up,” Mike Pilati said.
The homeowner said that he made the decision to liberate the mother bear without waiting for help and instead opened the car door from a safe distance with a stick.
Maria Pilati posted photos and videos showing the damage the bear left behind.
“Now we call it a Su-bear-ru,” Maria Pilati said.
Best of luck with the insurance claim.
Good thing they didn’t leave the keys in it!!
Does a bear shit in the Forester?
I HAD A CRAZY FRIEND IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND LATER WE WENT TO UCLA TOGETHER..
HE WAS A TRUE FREE SPIRIT, BOUGHT A CONVERTIBLE SEDAN TO SEE THE COUNTRY AND STOPPED SOMEWHERE IN YELLOWSTONE FOR THE NIGHT..”THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SPOT”…PUT HIS SLEEPUNG BAG OUT, SLEPT HARD WHILE A GRIZZLY TORE THE TOP OF HIS CAR OFF AND STOLE ALL HIS FOOD
I SWEAR THAT HE DROVE THAT CAR FOR THE NEXT 10 YRS, NO TOP, RAIN OR WHATEVER
HE USED TO PICK SOME OF US UP IN THAT CAR, POURING RAIN, TO HEAD TO A PARTY…HE GAVE ZERO FUCKS
Give’em a little time, they’ll blame Trump for the damage.
Whoop-dee-doo!
@Uncle Al No, but I did roll down the passenger courtesy window first
Pine box at the 18th hole will do for Mr Big Mac.
That reporter is the worst. She talks so slowly and completely monotone.
Back in 1980 we were at Sequoia, and while talking with a ranger she told us that she screwed up and left her thermos that she had her coffee in on the seat of her brand new Dodge truck assigned to her when she went into her quarters for the night. One of the park bears saw that thermos on the seat and actually tore the door off of her truck!
It;s not a true Su-bear-u unless it has an O-bear-ma bumper sticker.
So the alarm goes off & they just went back to sleep?
Bob , I know , right . . . they might be new york’ers
And don’t forget the COEXIST bumper sticker as well.
This is an occurrence that happens often in Lake Tahoe. Bears are so bold they even try to break into homes and cabins in Tahoe. I’ve got my own opinion of that couple…..not right bright.
