There was an award-winning SF Novella a few years back entitled, Bears Discover Fire. A scary tale that was. However, it was fiction.

It appears Bears may have discovered Cars!

Police in New Jersey say a black bear is suspected of stealing a people carrier and taking it for a spin.

Officer Dave Dehardt found the vehicle by the side of the road near Vernon Township, reports Court TV.

The passenger window had been broken and the door panels were damaged.

Police spokesman Det Sean Talt said: “He determined it was a bear because of all the bear hair inside.

Only one question: was it determined to be bear hair through genetic testing…or does the Detective know Bear Hair when he sees it?

Could it have been a large dog named Cujo?
