Bear Burglar Steals Nissan Versa in 15 Seconds

Grizzly Car Thief Caught on Camera

Security footage captures the moment a bear broke into and stole a Nissan Versa in just 15 seconds. The incident occurred in California's Lake Tahoe region.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the bear approaching the car and using its claws to break through the driver's side window. Once inside, the bear started the car and drove away.

The car was later found abandoned a few miles away. The bear had apparently lost interest in the vehicle and left it running in the middle of the road.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of leaving valuables in cars in areas where bears are known to roam. It is also a reminder that bears are powerful animals that can be dangerous if they feel threatened.

Tips to Avoid Bear Encounters

• Never leave food or other attractants in your car.
• Keep your car doors locked at all times.
• Be aware of your surroundings when hiking or camping in bear country.
• Make noise while hiking to avoid surprising a bear.

What to Do if You Encounter a Bear

• Stay calm and avoid making any sudden movements.
• Back away slowly while facing the bear.
• Do not run or climb a tree.
• If the bear charges, fight back with anything you have.

Bears are generally shy animals that will avoid contact with humans if possible. However, they can become aggressive if they feel threatened or if they are protecting their cubs. By following these tips, you can help reduce your risk of a bear encounter.
