In California, an incident unfolded where a bear managed to infiltrate a residence. Astoundingly, it chose the sole entrance lacking a security camera for its intrusion. Inside, the bear rummaged through the refrigerator, causing a mess by dislodging food from the upper cabinets onto the stovetop. Engaging in an unusual behavior, the bear indulged in the scattered food while simultaneously activating the stove burners, ultimately triggering the smoke alarms. This unexpected sequence of events led to both smoke damage and the fire department's intervention.

Following an extensive cleanup operation and the implementation of enhanced door security measures, the bear's persistence was noteworthy. Once the camera was in place, the bear made an audacious return. Interestingly, the bear seemed displeased by its newfound visibility on camera, expressing its dissatisfaction with this development.

Info from Licensor: "A bear broke into our house, via the ONE entrance that did not have a security camera. It raided the refrigerator, spilled food from the upper cabinets onto the stovetop, then turned stove burners on while eating the spilled food, resulting in smoke alarms going off, smoke damage, and a visit from the fire department.

After extensive cleanup and improved door security, the bear still attempted re-entry — we repeatedly chased it away while installing a camera on the one entranceway that didn’t have one - but once installed, the bear came back again and showed displeasure that we now could see him on camera."
