Occurred on July 31, 2023 / Pine Mountain Club, California, USA
: "A bear broke into our house, via the ONE entrance that did not have a security camera. It raided the refrigerator, spilled food from the upper cabinets onto the stovetop, then turned stove burners on while eating the spilled food, resulting in smoke alarms going off, smoke damage, and a visit from the fire department.
After extensive cleanup and improved door security, the bear still attempted re-entry — we repeatedly chased it away while installing a camera on the one entranceway that didn’t have one - but once installed, the bear came back again and showed displeasure that we now could see him on camera."
