We all have friends who don’t know how to look after their cars, but chances are they’re neater than this bear.

    Before you ask, no – the bear didn’t own the Corolla… Instead, it accidentally locked itself in the cabin, couldn’t get out, and decided to take out its frustration on the car.

    By the time it was freed by animal control authorities, the bear had done plenty of damage.

    Both front door cards are shredded, the trim is hanging sadly, and there’s bear poo in the back seats. And you thought your kids were messy.

    A social media update confirmed the damage is being covered by insurance.

    The bear invasion took place in Lake Tahoe, California.
