JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. -- Law enforcement warns the public all the time not to leave their cars unlocked -- because it makes it easier for thieves to steal.
Well, in Jefferson County, Colorado, it also allowed a curious black bear to get inside -- somehow get locked inside -- and then tear apart the inside of the vehicle.
Law enforcement use a rope to safely open the car's door -- and release the bear. It was all captured on camera.
Officials say this is actually the second time this week that they have had to release a bear from a vehicle that got locked inside.
