Are you delluded or just drinking a little early today?
A friend was surveyor for a major project in western Momtana, next to Idaho. He said he learned the hard way to leave the door lached (the bears could open the latch) and thus enter, satisfy themselves there was nothing to eat, and leave.
This option, which was workable for a survey office with no food, was not available to the homeowner
Attempts to bar the door merely p*ssed off the 'bar. The resulting damage was quite impressive.
Moral: Bears aren;'t cute furry people. Sorry, PETApersons.
