Today’s most surprising story, complete with a happy ending, comes from 45 miles north of Denver, Colorado, in the town of Larkspur, where a black bear went after a peanut butter sandwich left in a car, it appears, and ended up driving the car down the family driveway, reports CNN.

A neighbour of the Story family phoned police after 03:00 Friday 23 July, saying a car was honking incessantly and the people in the Story house were asleep. When police arrived, the car was 125 down the drive from its parking place and inside, they discovered with their flashlights, was an adult black bear who had somehow climbed inside, and then the door closed.

Police, who were concerned for the safety of people, considered shooting the bear or tranquilizing it, but they opted instead to send everyone inside to safety and to open the door from a distance by tying a rope to it. Two hours after it got stuck in the car, the bear left, reports ABC News Denver.
