Bear Thwarts Robbery

Holden, Ca. A local jewelry store robbery was interrupted by a bear, according to a Monroe Co. police report.

Two men were apprehended when they fled the scene of a robbery on foot. Police responding to a silent alarm at Kustom Jewelry caught the suspects after a short chase. The alleged robbers said that their plan to make a getaway in a car was thwarted when they returned to the car to find a brown bear in the front seat.

Authorities believe it to be the same bear reported recently by local residents. The bear’s current location is unknown.

Hahaha, Thanks for the titter on a Monday morning. Love the deadpan delivery, it sounds like a newspaper report. This is an imaginitive take on Interrupted.

That is such a funny story. A creative way to stop robbers.

This could actually fit for both titles in the challenge. Because it is a recount of the story by a newspaper or reporter, it could be entered as "Recall". Also since it is about a bear stopping a robbery it could be entered as "interrupted".

I wonder where the bear was going. Him being in the front seat and all. He probably had a hot date with Trixie at Jellystone park. :p

You should write about the polar bear who stopped the ice pirates. I heard he is no where near as nice as this brown bear.
