Not so far from here, in the Sierras, bears have been known to get a claw
behind the top of a car window frame & prise the whole window downwards
and outwards. It can take them seconds to prise the door off a car .....

Bunch of guys here at Apple came over from Singapore & spent the weekend
camping down in Yosemite. Bears got into their camp & ate all their food.
The guys were huddled in their tents all night, listening to the mayhem
outside! 8-)
