A Colorado bear opens an unlocked car door, rummages inside for food, and turns a parked vehicle into its own personal buffet. Security camera footage of the bear opening the car door and searching for snacks captures the wild, unexpected moment—reminding Coloradans to always lock up when bears are hungry and opportunistic.

Captured prowling Breckenridge, this bear’s bold car heist highlights a real problem: Colorado’s rising bear break-ins as spring hits. With local police urging residents to secure trash and vehicles, “bear-proof your car” is now more than just a wildlife safety tip.
