Bear in California rips apart interior of unlocked car, defecates and spits inside

California police are reminding drivers to lock their car doors after a bear let itself inside an unlocked vehicle near Lake Tahoe and destroyed the interior.

The bear couldn't escape as easily as it had entered the vehicle and became trapped inside, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

"The bear had somehow locked the doors and broke the handles off, so they couldn’t open it from the outside," Sgt. Dave Hunt told FOX40 Sacramento.

While trapped inside, the bear apparently ripped the seats apart, tore open the glove compartment and pulled down part of the ceiling.

The animal also urinated, defecated and spit all over the destroyed interior, police said.

The department called the vehicle “a total loss.”

Police were eventually able to open the rear hatch to let the bear escape, FOX40 reported.

Sheriff’s deputies told the station the wild animal was looking for food and warned those visiting the area not to leave food in their cars as bear season enters full swing.

Bear activity increases during mating season in June and July, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The animals will also eat anything that seems edible, including garbage.

There are beasts on this planet that make even the strongest of us look SO weak.

It is humbling.

Unless you have a gun in your hand :)

Is there any doubt how this bear votes?

I’d be thankful they did that to my car rather than to me in the backcountry.

Narrator says “The bear was able to get in because the deadbolt lock wasn’t secure...”

Got news for you, Mr. Narrator.

I'm guessing your bear knowledge is rather meager.

That wasn’t a bear, that was some antifa guy in a fur coat.

On a day trip to the Oregon Coast with a friend and her Newfoundland Sheepdog, about a 200 pound dog, we got to the beach and the dog got out of the little Toyota car and immediately made a beeline for the carcass of a week long dead Elephant Seal. The dog rolled around in the carcass and throughly covered himself in gaseous, decomposing blubber - and of course the good stuff, rotten heart, liver, lungs and bowels.

It was Memorial Day weekend so we were stuck in traffic for the 3.5 hour drive back to Portland.

You haven’t lived until you’ve been stuck in traffic with a slobbering, happy as a pig in $4/t Newfoundland Sheepdog in the tiny backseat of a Toyota who smells like Abe Lincoln in 1866

I was nauseous for a week
