LARKSPUR, Colo. -- A horn honking for 45 minutes brought Douglas County sheriff's deputies to a Larkspur home where they discovered a bear trapped inside a vehicle.
"At 3:28 this morning a neighbor called in a suspicious vehicle because a horn had been honking for 45 minutes. Deputies responded and discovered a bear in the car," said Deputy Michelle Rademacher.
"I was in bed and my mom and dad came rushing in saying, 'Did you lock your car today?' I said 'No.' My dad's like, 'It's gone.' At that point I was freaking out, and he said, 'It's a bear. There is a bear trapped in the car,'" said the car's owner, 17-year-old Ben Story.
