Couple Found A Bear in Their Garage

A California couple awoke at 2 a.m. to the sound of their home security camera and found a black bear heading into their garage.

The couple said the bear was cautiously wandering in through the garage door, which had accidentally been left open overnight.

The bear was not easy to scare away.

They believe the bear likely had its sights set on the garbage can inside the garage.

The couple said they will not be leaving doors of any type open at their home in the future.

Non-profit organization The BEAR League said the animals started to emerge from their winter dens in mid-March, and sightings are on the rise in mountain and foothill communities as the animals descend from high altitudes in search of food that isn’t covered in snow.
