This is why you don’t leave your picnic baskets unattended. Otherwise, you may have to call a contractor as well as the park ranger.

A bear looking for food on Friday evening broke into a vacant home in Colorado, said the Estes Park police. But when the cops showed up, that’s when life began to imitate art.

“Upon officer’s arrival, said bear forcibly breached a hole in the wall like the ‘Kool-Aid Man’ and made its escape,” notes a post on the department’s Facebook page.

With a possible nod to Yogi, the message continued: “Please do your part to keep bears wild. Bears are extremely smart, which means we all have to be too.”

Ever encounter a bear near your property? What did you do?
