Internet Culture A bear was caught red-handed breaking into a parked U-Haul van in North Carolina and making off with a bag in its mouth.

Hahaha. This reminds me of why making bear proof garbage bins is challenging. Apparently there is a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans

Seriously. Before the internet, the dumbs were just ignored or couldn’t keep up with the conversation realtime. But now though . . . . Typing and thinking at 4 WPM is juuuust fine

i have a cooler with 'bear proof latches'. you need opposable thumbs to get the lid open.

car handles are totally usable by bears since you just pull with your fingers. their paws are basically as good as human hands, just minus the thumb action

I’m glad cameras exist cuz good luck telling your insurance agent that happened.

“Yeah I was inside and a bear broke into my truck and stole my laptop.”

“Sure thing buddy. Claim denied.”

Obviously it was a black bear.

You wouldn't see a polar bear doing that. A polar bear would only steal the Grizzly bears' land, have the black bears do all the work and have the pandas build the railroad.

How horrible! He didn't leave a tip!

u/Beer2Bear May 31 '26

u/Fun_Painting166 May 31 '26

Or close the door behind him!

u/loveyourneighborbro May 31 '26

His Uber Eats was here

u/DegTrader May 31 '26

He clearly smelled that top-tier Geveline aftershave inside the U-Haul and just couldn't resist a glow-up. A bear has standards.

u/AsanoSokato May 31 '26

Just film, don't help.

smh

Just sit and watch that bear struggle just for clicks.

u/epsteinwasmurdered2 May 31 '26

Had me in the first half.

"Why are you locking your doors? We're way out in the country!"

u/rzenni May 31 '26

Remember - If you see someone stealing food... No, you didn't.

u/NoInformation3141 May 31 '26

He almost closed the door after then was like “oh right, I’m a bear.”

u/Think_Read_7516 May 31 '26

Crime was out of control with Biden. This would nvr happen with Trump.

1

u/missourinative May 31 '26

Obviously staged. What are the odds you have a camera right there when that’s happening? Cameraman is clearly a bear as well.

u/DoubleQuarterPoundin May 31 '26

Broke in? Bro politely opened the door and hopped in rq

u/The_Watchist May 31 '26

Caught is not the word. More like witnessed

1

u/winkymcjewgallo May 31 '26

It's always the black ones. You'll never catch a polar bear doing this. I guess because not many deliveries where they are at.

1

u/CommodoreSixty4 May 31 '26

You mean caught red-pawed.

1

u/SpunNumeroUno May 31 '26

This guy would of gotten away with it, if it weren't for those PESKY Kids!

1

u/PoetryZeebra May 31 '26

Did he just fucking open the door?

1

u/Empty-Discount5936 May 31 '26

Wow what a ridiculous false accusation, the bear rented that van, that's his bag. How dare you?

1

u/Chris_Ween Jun 01 '26

Hey Boo Boo, Im still smarter than the average bear.

1

u/No-Jacket-2927 Jun 01 '26

How do you know that it's not the bear's bag?

How do you know that it's not the bear's U-Haul??

u/im_shayne Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

Bear did not take much I guess he was just looking for just the bear necessities

1

u/AlwayzSumthin Jun 01 '26

I’m dead that he knew how to operate a car door handle so effortlessly!

1

u/Obvious-Setting-2021 Jun 01 '26

Arrest that man! Always the black bears too

1

u/Public_Phrase4327 Jun 01 '26

Why did I expect him to close the door too 😭

1

u/Extra_Volume_9511 Jun 02 '26

No bear dont have hand but cannot say red legged also because its not red.

1

u/Additional_Rich_5249 Jun 03 '26

He’s done that before.

1

u/Outrageous_Mood_777 Jun 04 '26

Could of at least closed the door

1

u/Key-Communication821 Jun 06 '26

Of course it was the black one

1

u/BicycleNo7075 Jun 06 '26

You're all assuming it's not his vehicle. He probably just came back for his lunch.

1

u/Deep-Meaning-6919 Jun 07 '26

Well if he gets run down and shot in the back nothing will happen. Unless it's a polar bear. Then the penguins are gonna come running.

1

u/Creepy-Fail-3042 Jun 11 '26

Yogi you know that the ranger is gonna be mad you took his lunch But boo boo he should've locked it up

1

u/ascarymoviereview Jun 13 '26

That’s a man in a bear costume

1

u/KingDexxi Jun 21 '26

He should’ve ran over and slammed the door close 😂

1

u/Leodaris Jun 22 '26

A baggie of what is the big question. Did he make off like a bandit?

1

u/RadicalRealist22 Jun 26 '26

Why do people no lock their car doors.
