 
 It's the kind of story local news lives for — a black bear breaks into a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and makes off with several mouthfuls of merchandise. 
 
 And Kris Hazelton's special weekend report is even more fun to watch than surveillance footage of the bear investigating a display case. Maybe it's her delivery. Maybe it's the charmingly awkward editing. Either way, Hazelton's account of events is the real highlight of the video. 
 
 Jo could see the shape of its body and then noticed some round, black fuzzy ears on top of its head and realized the culprit was a black bear ... Some time during the night, this young bear broke into the shop and made himself quite at home, enjoying lots and lots of chocolatey treats. 
 
 Sorry, bear, you just got upstaged by people. ||||| Published: 09 Aug 2012 08:37 GMT+02:00 | Print version

 A family of bears is suspected of having broken into a cabin in northern Norway and polished off over a hundred cans of beer. 
 
 "They had a hell of a party in there," cabin owner Even Borthen Nilsen told NRK. "The cabin has the stench of a right old piss up, trash, and bears." 
 
 The bear, and three cubs, are reported to have forced their way into the cabin by ripping a wall off. 
 
 "The entire cabin was destroyed," Nilsen told the local Finnmarken.no daily. 
 
 Nilsen told of how his mother and grandmother were the first to discover the carnage left by the beer-thirsty bears, when they arrived at the cabin in Jarfjord in Finnmarken only to find the place turned over. 
 
 "The beds and all kitchen appliances, stove, oven and cupboards and shelves were all smashed to pieces," he said. 
 
 And furthermore the bears had finished off all the food and drink in the house - including all the marshmallows, chocolate spread, honey and over 100 cans of beer. 
 
 Nilsen explained that excrement on the outside of the cabin left him in no doubt that it was a family of bears which had taken over his cabin for night of feasting and drunken revelry. 
 
 "You can see footprints on the windows," he said. 
 
 Borthen Nilsen expressed concern that the bears may return to scene of their crime at some point in the future. 
 
 "The mother has taken her young there, thus there is no guarantee that it won't happen to other cabins, or to our hut again," he said.
– They weren't so much cat burglars as "bear burglars." A mamma bear and her three cubs are believed to have broken into a cabin in Norway, sucked down about 100 cans of beer, and trashed the place, reports the Local. The bears broke in by tearing down a wall, then ate every scrap of food they could find, including marshmallows, chocolate, and honey, and broke all the furniture. "They had a hell of a party in there," said the cabin owner, who cited bear excrement and footprints as the tell-tale signs that they were the culprits. "The cabin has the stench of a right old piss up, trash, and bears." Unlike those pillagers, however, the bear who recently broke into a chocolate shop in Estes Park, Colo., was downright dainty. Propping open a broken front door, a black bear entered and re-entered a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory seven times over a 20-minute period, gorging himself on a variety of treats, reports Gawker. But this bear left the shop in great condition, and in fact the store owner had to watch security tapes to figure out what had happened to her business. (She thought a squirrel might have gotten into the shop.) "He was very clean and very careful," said the store owner.
