My brother didn’t fully secure the bear-proof trash bin cabinet while staying at the Tahoe house recently and a mama bear and her cubs managed to get into it. That wasn’t caught on video since their truck was blocking the camera, but you can see mama try the door to the truck before moving on. She was back again a couple of days later to see if anything more was to be found.  Secure your trash!

A bear wandered into the open garage while I was outside working on some wiring on the front porch.  I would not have known he was there except that a woman stopped her car in front of the house a minute or so later to take pictures.

He found a little paper bag of trash that I was collecting while I was working – it had a food wrapper in it along with some wiring scrap.  I had to shoo him off twice before he finally gave up and left for good.
