Repeat Offender: The Bear Who Came Back for Seconds
A bear broke into a Las Vegas home not once, but twice, according to video of the incident, establishing what this columnist can only describe as a pattern of behavior rather than a one-time lapse in judgment. Repeat offenses of this nature tend to draw a different level of scrutiny than a single break-in.
Footage reviewed by local media shows the bear entering the residence on two separate occasions, though the report does not specify what, if anything, the animal was after each time. The homeowner's experience of a second visit suggests whatever security measures followed the first were, at best, a work in progress.
This publication has covered a considerable volume of bear-enters-house stories this year, but a confirmed repeat visit to the same address is a new subcategory entirely. Webster notes that most burglars, human or otherwise, at least have the decency to try a different target the second time.
For a resident's perspective on the bear's movements through the area, Webster consulted Rhonda, a desert bighorn sheep familiar with the animal's range near the outskirts of the city. Her account suggests this was not an isolated bear, but a known presence.
Whether the home in question sees a third visit remains an open question this columnist intends to follow, if only because a trilogy would be journalistically irresistible.
“That bear's got no respect for boundaries, coming down off the mountain like the desert doesn't have enough scrub brush for him already. I've butted heads with rivals over less, my advice to that homeowner is fix your lock the first time, not the second.” — Rhonda, desert bighorn sheep
