California is seeing its share of bear break-ins. Now it has seen a fake one, with someone in a bear costume rummaging through luxury cars.

    My trust in insurance companies is so low that I wouldn’t put it past them to get one report of an actual bear attacking a vehicle, doing the math to determine that it would be cheaper to pay some dude to dress up as one and take the fall than it would be to pay out on a single car.

    That’s where my trust level with insurance companies is.

      Well, they do have the right to bear arms.

    They never even looked up what happens to a car with a bear inside. That’s the daintiest bear damage ever

    Was it the super fake looking video, the “bear” deftly opening a car door, or the perfectly uniform claw marks that tipped them off?
