Bear breaks into car but owners scream so much it decides it's not worth it

This is why you should always lock your car – even if you think you are isolating in a remote forest.

Video has emerged of a bear attempting to get into a Mercedes as the car’s owner watches on from afar. When the owner begins to scream like a banshee, the bear swiftly aborts mission.

The footage begins with the bear approaching the car and a woman asking: ‘Are you sure you locked the door?’ before Jose shouts: ‘Don’t f**k with the Mercedes.’

Apparently the bear was in no mood to co-operate, until the shrill screams of the terrified owners changed its mind.

Actress Christina Fuentes, from New York, posted the video to TikTok and Instagram while her friend Jose Ramos – whose screams managed to scare the animal off – also posted about the bear online, claiming it returned a second time a day later and ‘f****d the door up’.

‘I don’t know what possessed me to start screaming,’ Jose wrote on Instagram.

Christina even uploaded footage of the ‘traces’ left behind by the bear’s second break-in, showing dirt all over the seats and what appears to be a giant paw print.

Bizarrely, another video has emerged from Italy showing a boy in an extremely close encounter with a bear in the Brenta Dolomites mountain range.

The brown bear approached during a family hike and Alessando, 12, somehow managed to keep his cool during the memorable incident.
