Damn bear attacked my truck...

**brondondolon** · 07-23-2014, 10:32 AM

So I forgot to take the trash out on thurs night so the trash guys could pick it up fri morning. I didnt remember till i woke up so i panicked and took the trash down the steep hill in hopes the trash guys hadnt yet came. Well they did come and I was too late. Later that evening i drove down the hill and lifted the trash cans into the bed of my truck and just left them there because im a lazy a$$. Well i learned my lesson because a bear ended up getting to them. While the bear was trying to climb into my bed he used his claws on my slick paint and scratched the hell out of it... Not only was their trash from here to kingdom come but he left scratches on the tail gate and side of the bed that go through the clear coat but luckily not to the metal. Looks like i got some work cut out for me.

Sorry to hear about that!! Must have been a real heart braker!?! Could I be so bold as to ask for pictures without deepening your wounds?

There's got to be a Yogi joke in there somewhere, but I can't find it.

Sorry this happened to you. Even here in NJ we have been having some bear problems because of their continually diminishing habitat.

Sorry to hear about your truck.

I had a bear get into one of my empty garbage cans. When he knocked the can over it fell into my grill and bumper and put scratches in them.

And a couple months ago it happened and that time the bear scratched my bumper with its claw. Left a nice scratch but was able to polish it out.

Sorry to hear that, on the flip side though better on the truck than you.

I will try to get a pic. From a far they dont look that bad at all. Its when you get up close that you see the real damage. I live up in Northern NV by Lake Tahoe.

I don't think you was paying attention
to yesterday's lesson, Boo Boo:
Was your head in a pic-a-nic basket?

That's not the kind of pick-up I was talking about!!

lol no kidding Bob. Ever since i was in Jr High I've said "Well, if i didnt have bad luck id have no luck at all" lol. At least its fixable and the bear didnt tear a hole in the side of my truck or find a way into the cab and panic lol.
