Canada: adventures of a woman, who meets a bear in her kitchen

"She discovered the bear had made its way into her kitchen through an open sliding-glass door," Skelton told the Vancouver Province newspaper. "It appeared to be a one- to two-year-old bear - a juvenile - within the kitchen enjoying some oatmeal it had obtained by breaking a ceramic food container. When she saw it, she did the right thing. She vacated the area and called us."

Despite the arrival of three of West Vancouver's finest, the bear would not budge, according to the AP.

"The bear didn't appear to be aggressive and wasn't destroying the house, so they just let it do what it was doing and eventually the bear decided to make its way out of the residence and down toward a forested gully," Skelton said. "It ended the best it could."

Losses were limited to two ceramic food containers and "an amount of oatmeal."
