Oops is leaving a SUV unlocked in Canada

Rico says his friend Tex forwards this:
A man in Waterton, near Calgary, came out to find the inside of his eighteen-month-old Toyota Sequoia trashed.
A grizzly bear had somehow got a door open (easy, considering the way the handles are constructed) and, once inside, got trapped when the door shut behind him, probably by the wind.
The Toyota was the Platinum edition, and all the door panels were ripped off, the headliner torn to pieces, all headrests, the leather seats, and the dash shredded. The steering column was twisted sideways. Two of the six airbags went off, the other four the bear ripped to pieces. You can imagine a trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag in an enclosed space; he must have figured he was in for the fight of his life and, by the looks of this car, he won the fight.
When the bear ripped off the door panels, he also clawed all the wiring harnesses out.
Toyota figures every wire he pulled or clawed at resulted in alarm bells, voices, or sparks.
The head mechanic at Calgary Toyota doubted if they had the expertise to put this vehicle back together, even if they had enough parts to do it. And, to add insult to injury, the bear took a big dump in the back of the SUV, and then broke out the rear window.
Fish and wildlife officers inspected the damage and figure it was a three-year-old griz.
The vehicle has been written off by the insurance company.
The cost of this fully optioned vehicle new was over $70,000, and they stopped counting repair costs at $60,000...
Hey, it's only a Toyota!
