There have been several sightings. A possible Oreo sighting occurred early Friday morning.
The bear even dragged shrimp cocktail out of the fridge leaving only the tails. The family says the bear went through every room on the main floor of the house and they think it even pulled a "Goldilocks" and took a nap on their daughter's bed. "My daughter's bed, which was made before we left, nicely and neatly, was in a bit of a mess and a pile of blankets and sheets where it looked like he kind of nested a little bit, and a drool pile as if he had taken a nap there," said Christine Glaser. "He had also dragged her large lifesize Minnie Mouse stuffed animal and squishmallow onto the floor and looked like he had played with them like dog toys.
They were finally able to get the bear out of the house but the family says it came back on several occasions trying to break in for more food, damaging some doors in the process and that's when they decided to call the experts. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife captured the bear Wednesday night in the family's driveway using a bear trap. Inside the trap were donuts, chocolate syrup, fruit rollups and other sweets.
