The bear probably only had liability insurance, being cheap bastards and all. ---

Of course it’s a lousy driver, it has huge, stupid furry paws. I thought that you lot over there were really big on giving bears arms, not cracked that yet eh? I’m so ashamed of myself now… ---

What they didn’t show was RJ the raccoon leaving a can of Spuddies on the front seat with the door open. After the bear climbed in RJ shut the door. The rest, well… that you know. ---

Bears are STRONG. Had one rip off the door to my shed last weekend (again). The latch was secured by 4 1-1/2" lag bolts driven into the wood. Gone. The only way that I can see that it would be pulled off is by him grabbing the bolt for the latch with a nail or two and pulling. The damage would have been different if he managed to pull the door it self. I’m sure the inside of that Prious is toast. ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > The bear probably only had liability insurance, being cheap bastards and all. The bear had no insurance at all. Bears never do. I used to be an insurance provider (technically I am still am, in fact), and I assure you that, no matter how desperate I was to make a sale, I was not going into a fricking bear’s den to sell a policy. ---

The inside of the car was completely trashed. I saw a video of the story. He was probably upset that there weren’t pic-a-nic baskets in the car. To add further insult to injury, Boo Boo had dumped him for the night. ---

They identified the culprit. He was in a rage after being let go from his job. Apparently, he was in charge of teaching Texans how to bank their campfires. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bear-rolls-prius-into-neighbors-house/595494.md?page=2)
