Crafty bear caught on camera wheeling away restaurant's dumpster
2013-08-04
[ANNARBOR] Video footage captured by a Colorado Springs, Colorado restaurant is making the rounds and is equally interesting to watch.

Twice in the last week, a large bear has lumbered to the back of a popular German restaurant with a penchant for authentic weiner schnitzel, and on both occasions, he was caught on tape. He's given dumpster driving -- err, diving -- a whole new meaning.

"He just grabbed right onto it," said Dieter Schnakenberg, manages Edelweiss.

"There's just something about a bear taking a trash dumpster away."

The video cameras were installed not long so, as the restaurant had been the target of graffiti.

Little did anyone know that mischief of this kind would be captured.

"He must like our food. He does take out," mused Helga Schnakenberg, co-owner of the family-run eatery.

"It looks like he's using a shopping cart."

After the second time, it was decided that locking the 500-pound dumpster to the fence would be a wise idea to perhaps dissuade the uninvited guest from continuing his bear buffet.

#7  Good idea Redneck.

Just make sure there aren't any forklifts around or you're lose both the dumpster and forklift.

#6  Seems simple, get dumpsters withOUT wheels, make the bear DRAG the dumpster, he won't.

#5  Don't chain it to a truck, unless you want the bear to drive away in it.

#1  LOL! The bear even checked what was inside before deciding to abscond with it!

Leave the cameras rolling, though. That bear may come back with a can of spray paint tomorrow.
