The City of Sierra Madre has received 122 calls of service regarding bears since early July, which is usually about how many they receive in an entire year.
For Cynci Cutter, life in the Sierra Madre foothills can feel like a fairytale, but the Goldilocks adaptation of her life as of late does not sit just right.The first visit was in late July when Cutter was out of state. It happened again earlier this month.
"I had my bags from the grocery," said Cutter, standing in the entryway of her home. "I look over and saw all the food, and I thought, 'Oh no, he's been here again.' I heard the beeping of the refrigerator and the freezer, so I dropped my stuff - everything - and I went over and I said, 'I know you're in here! I know you're in here!'"
With some combination of force and dexterity, Cutter says the bear raided the fridge, eating peanut butter, ice cream, fruit, and the groceries she dropped on her way back out."It was a glob, so I cleaned that up. It was great fun," said Cutter, sarcastically. In that same timeline, it has received 30 calls about bears in structures, which is more than the past two years combined. City analyst James Carlson has enough data to understand what the bears are targeting.
"Mostly, it's trash cans, but it can be an outdoor refrigerator, it can be in a garage ... we've had cars
