Thurmond said she noticed moments later that the animals had opened the door to her car.

"I turned my head, and I saw the car door is open," Thurmond told WLOS-TV. "I could hear growling and stuff."

Thurmond filmed as the bears pigged out on the fundraiser chocolate in the vehicle.

She said the bears ate 49 of the candy bars, leaving only a single dark chocolate bar untouched.
