Authorities in Granby, Connecticut, are on high alert after four black bears broke into a local home on Saturday and ransacked the pantry as if it owed them money. The intruders, described as “mom-sized plus four fun-sized,” entered through a screen door like it was their Airbnb check-in.
Ohhhh, so NOT large, shirtless men with impressive beards, tank tops, and an unnatural knowledge of charcuterie boards… (goodfon/royaltyfree)
The bear family reportedly ignored traditional bear fare like salmon, honey, and terrified campers, opting instead for a more suburban diet of Pop-Tarts, off-brand peanut butter, and a suspicious number of Lunchables. Wildlife officials say the bears’ taste in snacks is “concerning but not unexpected given inflation.”
Residents were home at the time, but managed to escape without injury or the need for new underpants. “We heard a noise and thought it was the cat,” one homeowner said, before realizing the cat doesn’t usually knock over a water heater and eat a whole sleeve of Chips Ahoy. EnCon Police arrived on the scene to find only empty snack wrappers and a deeply traumatized Roomba.
Authorities were unable to locate the bear family, who are believed to be armed with claws, wearing fur, and heading north in a 2007 Subaru Outback with Vermont plates. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has issued a stern warning to the bears, who did not respond for comment, as they were busy live-streaming their next break-in on BearTok.
Local officials remind residents to secure their garbage, lock their doors, and maybe invest in an actual door instead of a screen flap better suited for mosquitoes than 300 pounds of ursine burglar.
Meanwhile, neighbors are conflicted. “I’m just glad they went for someone else’s house,” said one man while duct-taping his basement windows. “But also, I feel kind of snubbed.”
This story is based on fully factual news, but if we got it wrong, blame these guys, we’re just here to make it funny.
