SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. (WATE) — A gentle bear’s excursion in Tennessee over the weekend is serving as an important reminder to residents and visitors to lock their car doors.
Sierra Graham said she and her husband decided to celebrate their anniversary by visiting Sevier County with their children. As an Appalachian native, Graham said she knows how important locking car doors in bear country is, but after a late night trip out to get something for their children, they forgot to lock the SUV doors back.

When they went out the next morning to take their bags to the SUV, they found that a bear managed to opened three of the SUV’s doors and was in their child’s car seat. By that point, the bear had opened the middle console and helped itself to gummies, M&M’s and what was left of a Cook Out milkshake.
The couple made some noise, and the bear stepped out and moved along. The most interesting part of the story though might be that the bear didn’t cause any damage…
