Bear climbs into car to steal bag of chips in New Hampshire

Aug. 30 (UPI) -- A New Hampshire man captured video of a bear climbing into a parked car through a damaged window and stealing a bag of chips.

Geoffrey Starr shared video showing the mother bear climbing into the vehicle in Bartlett and remaining inside for a time before emerging with a bag of chips.

Starr said the car's window had been taped shut, but that did not pose much of an obstacle for the animal's claws.

The mother bear then rejoined her cubs nearby.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says bears are "opportunistic and will search for human food supplies when natural foods are not available."
