Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore!

As evident from the below conversation, we are clearly not in Kansas - erm, Minnesota - anymore!

AL: Holy s*@#, baby! You are not going to believe what I am looking at right now...!

Me: Uh, what?

AL: A bear...crawling into someone's car

Me: Really? Holy crap!

AL: Yea, the guy opened his car door to let the bear in and now he's just sitting there.

Me: What? Like, he knows the bear or something?

AL: I guess...he just drove away. With the bear in the backseat.

Me: What? Are you sure it was a bear? Maybe it was a dog or something?

AL: Honey, it was a bear. I promise you it was a bear.

Me: So, the guy wanted him in the car? Is it a pet or something!?

AL: I don't know...

From what I gather, the bear willingly and at the request (with very little urging) of the driver, lumbered into the backseat of the car, much like a dog would and sat down. The driver then got in the car and drove away. 

Does this guy own a bear as a pet? 

And if so, does his live in our apartment complex? 

What kind of pet deposit would you put down for a bear?

If not, was he a "bear-wrangler" or someone who is just really bear-friendly?

How do you train a bear to come when you call and do what you say?

Holy smokes, guys. Colorado sure is a new adventure!
