Hendrik Sybrandy KDVR Denver3:11 PM MDT, July 23, 2010LARKSPUR, Colo. - A Larkspur family is reliving its close encounter with a car thief Friday morning. But this wasn't just any car thief... it was an adult and very menacing black bear.The bear managed to get into Ben Story's Toyota Corolla, put the car into neutral and send the vehicle skidding over one hundred feet into some trees on the family's property."The destruction is amazing," said Story. "He tore everything up and managed not to miss one little square inch of the car, he got it all."A neighbor of the Storys first heard the car honking shortly after two a.m.. When Douglas County Sheriff's Deputies arrived, they spotted the bear inside the vehicle. The Story family of five was asleep inside their house and never heard any commotion.Ralph Story said his 17-year-old son had left a peanut butter sandwich inside the vehicle and said the scent of the food undoubtedly prompted the bear to break in and enter."He was locked in the car and couldn't get out and the police didn't know what to do," he said.The sheriff's deputies ultimately attached rope to one of the car doors, opened the door from a distance and let the bear scamper away.Damage to the inside of the Toyota was extensive. Ralph Story said his insurance agent has told him the car will be a total loss.Story said that bears are part of the scenery in the Larkspur area but he said a close encounter like this one has never happened to his family before."When you live out here you better expect those thing to happen."http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-...story

At least there's pics and a police report. Otherwise thet would be a pretty interesting conversation with the insurance agent...And it also looks like they forgot to apply the parking brake....
