Quick - Hide the Honey!

From the RTD today. Chesterfield County police said they received several sightings of a bear going through trash cans in residential areas this morning. The sightings came from  — Ives Road, Hull Street and Turner roads, the Stevens Hollow area, and Able Road and Ghent Drive.

Police don’t have an exact description of the bear and are not actively searching for it.

- The folks at chesterfielddaily.net are going to go out on a limb here for the description — basically, a big black hairy animal that enjoys fish and picnic baskets… “Do you need more than that?”
