Though the deputies in Jefferson County, Colorado, are no strangers to odd animal-related calls, they were utterly perplexed after being alerted of a bear stuck in a car.

Deputies Tillman and McLaughlin responded to the call, but once they arrived they could not understand exactly how the animal managed to let himself into the vehicle and lock the doors.

There were no broken windows at the scene and according to the video description, the moisture on the windows let deputies know that the bear had been in the car for quite some time.

The deputies decided to open the hatch to release the bear through the trunk, and the bear eagerly returned to the woods.

This isn't the first time a bear has been able to unlock a car door, but hopefully it will be the last.
