There’s a WHAT in your car?

A homeowner in Jefferson County, Colorado had to call Sheriff’s deputies the other day because of what made it’s way into their car.

The Deputies are used to their share of animal calls. “Snakes, marmots, deer, elk, bobcat, bear. We get them all.”

The home, located in the middle of the woods, was apparently also the home of a very curious bear. When officers arrived they were surprised that there were no broken windows or any other sign that the bear had forced his way into the vehicle. It appears the bear somehow opened the car door — and climbed in. The door must have then closed behind him.

The bear was trapped and he definitely was not a happy camper. He completely trashed the interior of the car trying to find a way out. One officer was able to open up the back hatch. When he did, the bear jumped out and ran into the woods. The best part…the deputies were able to catch it all on video.

And here is that video…

I love the caption at the end: “We bearly got him out of there!”

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
