ROANOKE, Va. -- The young black bear probably was looking for treats when he climbed inside a car in Virginia, but it managed to honk the horn. Roanoke police said the 200-pound animal got stuck and blew the horn, rousing the car's owners about 5 a.m. Thursday. An officer was able to open the car's back door, and the bear ran into the woods. Police said snacks were inside the car, and they reminded people to keep their cars locked.
