    Colorado bear drives car after getting stuck inside

    A bear that got stuck in a car in the US state of Colorado took a short joyride before
    crashing, police say.

    Durango resident Ron Cornelius awoke to find his Subaru SUV crashed at the bottom of the hill at
    the end of his driveway.

    "Usually, I don't get up at 5 o'clock unless there is a bear driving a car down the street," he joked to
    the Durango Herald newspaper.

    Two or three bears get stuck in cars each week in the area, officials say.

    The black bears have been searching for food inside cars because their typical food supply was
    decimated by a late season frost, La Plata County Sheriff's office spokesman Dan Bender told the
    BBC.

    Some bears have even learned to open car door handles, Mr Bender said, but added that this is
    the "first time they attempted to drive off with the car".

    The bear was not able to start the car, he explains, but at some point the bear must have released
    the gear, causing it to roll backwards downhill, crushing Mr Cornelius' mailbox.

    Mr Cornelius and his wife initially suspected robbers, but the actual culprit became clear after they
    look looked inside and viewed all the damage - plus the fresh bear excrement.

    The back window had been shattered, the radio was ripped out, and the steering wheel was pulled
    completely off the shaft.

    "It would have taken a human being hours to do what this bear did in a couple minutes," said Mr
    Cornelius.

    Local officials advise that people always remove food from their cars, and keep the doors locked.
