Bear Steals Candy

For a thief, he’s very polite

bears are large mammals that are notorious for their sweet tooth. From Winnie the Pooh with his honey pot to Yogi Bear and the treats in picnic baskets, bears and sweets are fictional tropes we are all familiar with.

What people don’t expect, however, is to actually face a candy craving bear in real life.

Yet, according to this YouTube video, that is just what two convenience store clerks encountered while working the graveyard shift near Lake Tahoe, California.

In the video, you can see the bear waltzing through the automatic door like a pro, obviously clever enough to have figured out how to gain access to the scrumptious sweets he desires.

The black bear was not aggressive. In fact, according to one of the clerks, bears had previously been chased out of the parking lot. The thieving bear clearly wants the clerk to move away when he enters the store, but once the man backs off, the sweet-savoring ursine ignores him in favor of satisfying his late night cravings.

The first time he enters the store, he simply grabs a bag of Snickers and leaves.

For a modern-day robber, he is very polite. Yes, he shoplifts, but he sticks to candy instead of expensive items. He also doesn’t trash the store or leave with a cart…
