Bear in Back Seat Causes Chaos | Colorado Springs News

A Colorado Springs man’s Sunday church run turned wild when a bear casually strolled into his truck—doors unlocked, back seat occupied, and thousands in damage done. This isn’t an isolated incident: wildlife officials report rising bear activity statewide, urging residents to report even minor encounters to help track patterns and keep bears—and people—safe. The couple whose truck was trashed admits they underestimated how easily bears can access homes and should’ve called authorities sooner. Officials stress that euthanasia isn’t automatic; safety is the priority. As bears prep for hibernation, securing trash and food sources is key. If you spot one? Don’t watch—make noise and back away. Your safety—and theirs—is at stake. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
