At first, she thought someone was trying to steal her truck so she ran to her window, only to see a mother bear and cub climbing on the roof of the vehicle. She grabbed her phone. "I started taking pictures of them and recording them. And then, I noticed the movement inside my truck ... and the truck is honking and then I realised, 'Oh that's a bear in my truck,'" Sutherland said.
Sutherland said she is not exactly sure how the bear got into the vehicle but after the incident one of her door handles was broken, so she believes that the cub was able to use the handle to let itself in, although a window was also left ajar. "It was just really shocking to see a bear, well to have just a momma bear and a cub bear outside but to have one inside my truck. I just did not know what to think," Sutherland said.

In the heat of the moment, Sutherland said her son told her to call 911 and she couldn't think clearly enough to remember the phone number to dial. Sutherland and her children were too frightened to go outside but a neighbour drove over in their own vehicle and leaned out the window to open the truck's door and let the cub out. "He just totally shredded two doors, the roof of my truck, pulled out some speakers. And he left some presents in the back seat," Sutherland added.
You can see Ms Sutherland's original Facebook video, complete with sweary language, here. There's a second video showing the neighbour opening the truck door to release the cub here.

We in the majority of the world consider a truck to be something big that carries timber, gravel or shipping containers.
Calling your vehicle a truck when it is a car that has been balloonised is akin to calling your fridge a Bird's Eye factory, it's not, it's a fridge.
Those Americans that live in the U.S.A. and obviously I generalise, have a habit of big talking themselves and their 'things'.
They also have a habit of acronymising their stuff.
One that gives me massive, huge bouts of dandruff is when they call their vans (vans like the one pictured) SUVs, or sports utility vehicles.
Are they joking ?
Try going around a corner at any speed over 40kph in one of them, then try it in a sports car, such as an Alfa Romeo…see, totally different, one is a sports car, one is not.
Next try the utility test, load up a utility vehicle with posts to make a fence, bugger it, chuck on the palings, rails and a box of nails.
Now try that in your SUV.
Doesn't happen does it !
In the normal parts of the world we call the pictured vehicle a four wheel drive.
As made famous and normal by Land Rover.
But I guess with lots of cars being four wheel drive we need a new name for those bigger vehicles that look like pimped vans with long noses.
Any ideas ?
.and if brevity is the essence of wit
btw..it's a f'n Chevy
for additional test needs, things you need to bugger, sheep extra, ask me
cu soon
