A video posted to YouTube by ALB Tahoe shows the mother bear and her three cubs trying to find a way into a garage in Incline Village, on the shore of Lake Tahoe, when the filmer's nephew, safely inside a car, starts to play the violin for them.

The filmer said the music convinced the bears to "chill out." "We happened upon this family of black bears in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe when our nephew, Mike Perroud begin to play his violin in an attempt to deter them from breaking into this vacant home," the video's description reads.
