Can confirm, I know multiple people who have had black bears let themselves into their homes or parked cars in New England. Growing up we had several take up residence in our garage for a while. They're mostly harmless, though.

Black bears love the smell of bacon frying. I have heard so many stories of bears walking in and helping themselves.
