A Colorado sheriff's office is reminding residents to "goldilock"
their cars after a bear locked itself inside a vehicle and had to be
rescued.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post
that deputies responded to a location in Conifer where a resident
discovered a bear had gotten into their car and closed itself inside the
vehicle.
The post included a video of deputies using a rope to open a door and free the bear from a safe distance.
The sheriff's office said it was the second incident of a bear locking itself inside a vehicle in the past week.
"So please make sure you goldilock your car to keep both thieves and
bears from entering," the post said. "We're pawsitively sure that if you
do, it will greatly reduce your chances of losing important items and
having your car trashed."
