LAKE TAHOE
Tahoe Bear Sniffs Out Pizza in Vintage Convertible
July 4, 2006 11:52 AM PDT
A Tahoe bear cub drew a crowd of spectators as it munched on a barbecue-chicken-and-jalapeno pizza in the back seat of a vintage red Buick convertible. It also apparently washed it down with a swig of a Jack Daniels mixer, an Absolute vodka and tonic, and a beer taken from a cooler.
About 30 people watched the cub lumber around a parking lot Sunday before it homed in on the Buick and the spicy pizza on the floor. The bruin was unfazed by the car's horn that blew nonstop as the cub pressed the seat into the steering wheel.
Witnesses say the bear remained inside the 1964 Buick Skylark for about 20 minutes. The owner of the car says there was no damage, only cheese and jalapenos on the seats and floor.
