A trapped bear who was inside of a SUV released by New York State police officers

I know if I were the owner of an SUV that had a bear trapped inside of the auto that was located in Hurley New York, I would be scared not to even think of opening the door much less get inside of the SUV. An owner of an SUV called 911 to report seeing a black bear inside of his SUV on Friday September 23 called 911 to ask for help to get the black bear out of his SUV.. Two police officers from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with the assistance of the New York State Police came to find a way for the bear who was trapped inside of the SUV by first closing down Highway 28 to traffic before using the state trooper cars to from a funnel for the bear to walk back inside of the woods. The two officers with the State Department of Environmental Conservation used a rope to open the back hatch so that the bear could leave the SUV and return to his home. Even though the bear was not harmed, the SUV did suffer severe damage inside due to the bear struggling to get out of the SUV after the bear most likely got into the SUV by entering into an open door from either the side door or back of the SUV since the owner was careless not to close the doors in his SUV. How long was the bear trapped inside of the SUV is not known. My belief is that the bear was hungry for food when he saw the open door of the SUV since just before a bear takes a nap for the winter, the search for food will increase.
