Sharon Rosel told CBC she caught the bear in the act in the middle of the night outside her home in Earls Cove, British Columbia.

"It was about three in the morning, and my dog actually alerted me to something was out there," she said. "So I took a look outside, and I saw the bear and then, later on, looked at my security cameras and saw him enter the yard and smashed the window really quickly."

Rosel said she eventually began noticing the bear coming in and out of her car with different cans of soda.

"He started with the orange Crush and eventually the last thing he got was the diet pop," Rosel said.

Out of 72 cans of soda in Rosel's car, she said the bear drank 69 of them. And he wasn't sneaky about it.

"You could hear him slurping it the whole time, and he didn't break them open with his claws, as you would think he would," Rosel said. "He used his teeth every time, and I tried reasoning with him.

In a frenzy of product placement, the sequel to Cocaine Bear will be Coca-Cola Bear.

He also plays for a sucky little league team that somehow always wins the Pennant against better teams at the end of the movie. Now we know their secret weapon.

We recently had a another bear situation nearby where the responding officers must have been city folks.

The bear had somehow opened the car door and had gotten into the vehicle and the door had somehow managed to close the bear in.

When the bear was ready to leave it didnt know where to find the handle and decided to burrow its way out shredding the entire interior.

Super bright urban cop tells everyone that the answer is to always make sure that your car doors are locked so bears cant get in!

The person in the article was lucky, its just a window. Its a lot more costly to replace the door when they peel those off.

The only way to keep them out is to make sure there is not and never has been any food or anything that smells like it could be food in the vehicle.
