Police in Jackson New Hampshire reported the news on Wednesday May 14 that a black bear stole a trail camera apparently attempting to steal a camera using its teeth and claws while another bear was nearby. The police in Jackson are asking the public to assist them in finding the bear since the bear is guilty of stealing a camera. I am sure that the persons who can assist the police will keep their distance from the bear since bears are not animals that any human beings want to mess with in the first place. I am that the police will use peaceful methods to take the bear by using tranquilizer guns. Link is upi.com/7751747330371 via @upi

Let the bear keep it, so we can all have the answer to the question about what he does in the woods!

@Deepizzaguy That would be cool to see. I'm sure just random things and out of focus, but still!

I agree about them using peaceful methods with the bears. I wonder if this bear had an issue with another bear and wanted to use the camera. Hehe

Sticky situation because if that bear has use for the camera he will not want to give it up

I wonder if it is even worth trying to get the trail camera back. It could easily be damaged by now.

You are right about bears not being the type of animal that humans should mess with.

Maybe the bear thought that there was some honey in that contraption, or if it was more canny, maybe it wanted to take a photo of its honey too.

I'm sure the camera is beyond use by now.

Most likely a person who owned the camera since the source did not mention who reported the theft.

I know what you mean since I am surprised that bears now steal cameras as well as food.
