A bear of a day in La Crescenta

The "Glendale bear," a 400-pound black bear that has been causing a stir with its visits to the hillside communities around Angeles National Forest, was given a lift back home Tuesday morning after Fish and Game authorities captured and contained the so-called Glen Bearian wandering in a La Crescenta neighborhood.


This link has a video taken from a news helicopter of a guy texting while walking along his sidewalk, and being surprised by the bear:
