I'm surprised -- usually stories like this originate in Colorado like the recent case in Estes Park where a candy store's door latch wasn't quite strong enough. For a change, only mess left behind was one candy wrapper. Can't find a link to the video of the bear entering and leaving the store several times. Must have been the only tidy bear in creation, but it ate 20 lbs of candy.

Coscolo --
The sign said "no sampling" so it was only polite of the bear to consume the candy outside.
I guess this story provides an alternate answer for where bears do

"Nilsen explained that excrement on the outside of the cabin left him in no doubt that it was a family of bears"
Wha..? Beats me where he gets that - where I grew up, that would be just a regular Saturday night. Maybe Norwegians are just very particular about where they poop, though, unlike bears and drunk American country boys.

When I was in college, we called that "Tuesday".
There was a story, not reported in reputable news sources, that shortly before my time, the NBC network broadcast a football game.
During the pregame, as the camera panned across the seats, a fraternity unrolled a banner reading, "UK welcomes NBC to the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party".

Baer blame is common in the North countries.

I suspect another Goldilocks orgy. Always blaming it on the bears.

Was it the Chicago Bears?

What kind of Norwegian drug lab has honey, chocolate, marshmallows, and 100 cans of beer? Was this some kind of backwoods Walmart?

We really did not want to blame it on the bears, but all things considered, it was the better option. Burp.

Yes, we were very lucky that my sister found bears had broken into the cabin after that party last weekend. Now I don't have to explain to my mother about how Arne threw Rolf through the wall because the bears conveniently entered by tearing down that wall. As an added bonus one of the bears used the exact same spot on the porch where Karl dropped trou, saving me from explaining that. This was a very well timed bear incident for some of us.

"You can see footprints on the windows." Who among us...
Bear beer, bear beer, bear beer, bear beer, bear beer. I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
