- 🐻 A resident in Altadena, Ken Johnson, discovered a bear has been living under his house for an extended period, possibly since June.
- 💡 The bear is seen on security footage squeezing into a crawl space, appearing to use it as a den for the winter.
- 🔊 Ken can hear the bear moving around underneath the house, causing vibrations when it attempts to exit.
Wildlife Encounters in Altadena
- ⛰️ The houses are located at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, making wildlife sightings common in the area.
- ⚠️ However, having a bear actively living under one's home is described as an unusual and concerning situation.
- 🐾 A similar bear was spotted in a nearby Altadena house earlier in the year.
Attempts to Resolve the Situation
- 📞 After discovering the bear, Ken contacted the sheriff's department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, but no help has been provided yet.
- 🗑️ The bear has been rummaging through trash and leaving a mess, with Ken humorously referring to it as a "squatter living rent free."
Proposed Solution
- 🍬 Ken plans to lure the bear out of the crawl space using sweet rolls.
- 🧱 Once the bear is out, he intends to block the crawl space entrance with sandbags and use bear spray to deter it from returning.
