A bear got inside a car in Larkspur last week. The bear traced the scent of lip gloss that was inside the vehicle. There wasn’t even any food!
Bears know how to open car doors. There was no food/trash left inside here, but there was lip gloss. Its scent was enough to entice the bear to check it out.
Keep unwanted guests out of your cars by locking the doors & removing anything with a scent.https://t.co/wr9cwDyeKu pic.twitter.com/OXTsuMjyKb
