Bear Enters And Eats Oatmeal In Woman's Kitchen

It was a real-life version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears � in reverse � when a woman came home to find a young bear eating oatmeal in her kitchen in British Columbia, Canada.

The bear entered through an open sliding glass door, broke a ceramic food container and started eating.

Three police officers went to the home after the report but couldn't get the bear to move so they let it finish its meal.

"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", police Sgt. Paul Skelton said. "It ended the best it could."

"It sounds like a nursery rhyme, doesn't it?", he asked. "At least we have a health-conscious bear on our hands".
