Black Bear Trapped In Minivan Makes Glass-Shattering Escape
"We were up at my parents' house [In Asheville, N.C.] — they were out of town — and the (van) doors were closed but unlocked. All the doors were closed," Nicole Minkin Lissenden told the Citizen Times. "I went up and looked and I was like, 'Oh, that's embarrassing."
Naturally, she closed the door and picked up the trash. At 2:30 in the afternoon, she didn’t think about anything being out of the ordinary. What she didn’t know was that she had trapped the culprit in her vehicle. When she went back out 30 mins later, the windows were fogged and showed very large paw prints. As the bear was more upset, it had moved around and set off the alarm. Nicole called her husband, Alex, a neighbor, and Animal Services. What happened next was caught on video.
They first tried to open the sliding door using the remote, but it was now broken by the bear. Alex had to go up to the van to physically unlock it. Because of the angle of the driveway, every time he opened the door, it would shut close again. But when the bear saw the window crack, that’s when he realized his escape plan and shattered the glass. As casually as he appeared, he sauntered off.

Today's Devotional
A Prayer for Victory over Sinful Thoughts - Your Daily Prayer - July 26
Victory over sinful thoughts starts with dependence upon God to stay free from enslaving sin. It’s a life lived with a surrendered mouth and heart before God. Winning requires us to remember our Rock, who rescues us and gives us a firm standing place, and our Redeemer, who rescues us from total loss.
