Story here. Surveillance video here.

Cute little feller. Has just learned about indigestion :eek:

AVON, Conn. (AP) — A hungry black bear barged into the garage of a Connecticut bakery, scared several employees and helped itself to 60 cupcakes before ambling away.

Workers at Taste by Spellbound in the town of Avon were loading cakes into a van for delivery on Wednesday when the bear showed up...

Bakery owner Miriam Stephens wrote in an Instagram post that she heard employee Maureen Williams “screaming bloody murder” and yelling that there was a bear in the garage...

... Surveillance video obtained by WTNH shows bakery workers walking around the side of the business to try to scare the bear, but then running away after it scares them.

The video shows the bear dragging a container of cupcakes from the garage into the parking lot. Stephens said the bear ate 60 cupcakes...

...Authorities eventually tranquilized the young bear and planned to relocate it.
 
That Bruin really takes the cake! He's wearing a tracking collar in the video, so this obviously wasn't his first offense.

I have no idea how good those cupcakes are, but it's safe to say they're not unbearable! :o :rolleyes:

I'm here all week!
You missed that the 'bear' faced thief 'bearly' waited for them to be frosted before 'beariling' out the door. :p

I thought the same thing, but I think what looks like a tracking collar is the camera software "tracking" the outline of the bear. You can also see the white lines around its feet as it moves.

LOL. "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
 
I saw the title and thought it might be about a forum member. But then it appears it was a "young" bear not Old Bear. ;)
Presumably Old Bear got old by learning that eating 60 cupcakes at one sitting was not conducive to longevity.

If they fit relocated bears with an ear tag in CT as they do here, they should print "CUPCAKE" on it, rather than just a file number. Everyone would immediately know what bear it is of it was caught again.
