A bear that entered a candy store named Sweets in Gatlinburg Tennessee on Wednesday November 13 to help himself to eat candies without paying for them which caused employees tried to get the bear out of the store. The customers took pictures and filmed the scene of the bear stealing the candy before the Gatlinburg Police Department came to get the bear out of the store without anyone getting hurt. It appears that the bear saw his chance to get food for free since the homes where the bears used to live is being taken away from them. Link is upi.com/6121731704902 via @upi

I agree with you that the bear just wanted to eat some food before taking a nap in the winter.

I know what you mean since my relatives and myself do give food scarps to the stray cats outside at night.

I saw that video. Actually there were two instances! Can't blame the bear though.

I'm sure that bear would have loved helping himself to all the sweets.

It's becoming hard to bear all of the bears entering shops to try to find food. Maybe, there is not so much natural food for them to feed on theses days with the clearing of their natural habitats.

Maybe the food in the forest is not good anymore for them to eat.
