Bear steals bag of garbage from California trash bin

Oct. 16 (UPI) — A California man captured video of a bear digging through a curbside trash bin and absconding with a bag of ill-gotten garbage gains.

Roberto Morales captured video about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday showing the bear rifling around inside a trash can that had been knocked over next to the curb in a Glendale neighborhood.

The bear emerges with a white bag full of trash its mouth and heads to a nearby backyard, apparently intending to make a meal of the waylaid waste.

Local officials said bear activity is common in the area and advised residents to keep garbage indoors until the morning of collection.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife shared video of another thieving bruin in late September. The footage shows a bear walking onto a front porch in the Ocean Shores are and making off with a delivered package, which contained a sweater.
