Bear To Goldilocks: “I Know Where You Live”
Monday, February 12th, 2007
Maplewood, NJ “I was making a pot of coffee, and I turned around and there he was in the window looking at me,” said Lorraine Grossman.
Grossman was referring to a 211 pound black bear. However, her scream of terror spooked the bear causing it to run up the nearest tree, where it sat refusing to come down. Neighbours watched for five hours as the bear just sat there (trees don’t come with cable and he didn’t bring a book).
State wildlife officer eventually turned up to tranquillise the beast - letting it fall 40 feet into a net waiting below.
“It’s not something you get to see every day — bears falling out of trees,” said Pete Samek, whose 5-year-old daughter, Lucy Rose, watched from his shoulders.
