The bear was attracted by a peanut butter sandwich left inside of the car. A neighbor heard the car horn honking around 3am and called the police. After two hours of the bear being stuck inside of it, the 2008 Toyota Corolla was considered totalled.
Somehow, the bear had either opened the unlocked back door or pushed a window down to get inside. Understandably agitated, it bumped into the horn repeatedly and eventually knocked the car's gear into neutral. The Toyota rolled down the hill. The door added to the bear's indignity by closing at some point during the ordeal.
Saw that story on the news. Kid left his car unlocked in the driveway. Steep long incline driveway. Somehow the bear opened the door, got in and the door closed. Bear hit shifter to neutral and car rolled down driveway, across a road into a ditch. By the time the police arrived, the interior of the car was totally trashed and ripped. The officer put a rope on the door handle to let the bear out of the car. The bear ran into the woods. Camera crew showed the car. The wasn't a street piece of metal on the car from rolling into the ditch and the interior, seats, dash board was destroyed. Evidently the bear did not like being inside a vehicle for 2 hours.
