Three bears find backseat not too soft or hard, but just right

7/5/2012

Once upon a time in a large forest, close to a village, sat the car where the Bear family lived. And, boy, did they give Goldilocks a fright. It took maybe 150 years, but the antagonists of our favorite children's story finally got a decent rewrite when a woman in Colorado opened her car to find three cubs at home in the back seat. Mama bear had run off (perhaps in search of porridge?), but wildlife officials believe she's responsible for a spree of breaking into cars, most of the time through unlocked doors. So residents are being urged to lock up, lest they come to an end you don't usually read in fairy tales.
