“Insurance doesn’t usually cover this,” said Snowmass, CO police.
Why are acts of Bear not covered by insurance?
When in bear country, ALWAYS lock your vehicle doors.
I always learned that when in bear country you were supposed to leave your vehicle doors unlocked as a courtesy to pedestrians who may need a quick escape…
Was the bear OK?
-Put on talk radio (not music) when you leave home; the
human voice startles most bears.
The Jebus kind, or alt-Right?
Holy heck. There’s bearly anything useful left in there!
What are you, some kind of SOCIALIST?!?
Requiring insurance would be against the 2nd amendment. The NRA takes no chances. Bearing arms, armed bears, bears with arms. As long as there two word are involved, any regulation is worse than running death camps.
Anything but NPR. Those soothing voices only entice bears to have a lie down and a snack, maybe with a nice Chianti.
Because bears are Gods.
Did that airbag go off? I can see that thoroughly pissing off an already annoyed bear.
You’ll find when you file a claim that it only covers the bear essentials - so you can rule out any acts of dog.
Remind me never to get into a fist fight with a bear.
Because insurance policies usually turn out to be the polar opposite of what you thought.
Locking your car does not really help, if there is anything inside a bear might want. I was at King’s Canyon many years ago, and a park ranger came by at night asking us to remove the car seat from our car, because it might have crumbs or something in it a bear could smell. The same park had also posted a photo at a kiosk of a car that a bear had opened - basically it put its claws into the door frame and peeled it open like a sardine can. They are very strong.
If there had been burn marks, I would have assumed that a bomb had gone off inside the car.
Looks like Bear couldn’t figure out how to get the seat back.
Also, has it been written off, and does it start? Asking for a friend. Between this and the wasp car, it seems there should be an aftermarket for animalized cars.
Reminds me of a scene in that Steve Guttenberg film, Bad Medicine, except the dead subject in the backseat is actually dead… and hilarious panic still ensues.
