A California gas station had an unexpected visitor during its graveyard shift—a 500-pound bear with a sweet tooth.
The bear frequented the station multiple times and left behind a trail of candy wrappers and shaken store clerks.

On the first night, the bear walked in, surprising the clerk. Fortunately, this employee had prior experience with bears and could shoo the beast out.
However, this was just the beginning. The same bear returned repeatedly, forcing the clerk to chase it away one or two times a night.
The store worker knew he had to act fast before the bear caused significant damage or frightened customers.
Another night, the bear became more aggressive, lunging at the clerk, who quickly let the bear have what it wanted. The bear grabbed a bag of Snickers and strolled out, satisfied with its loot.
The situation intensified when the bear returned on another shift. This time, it helped itself to an entire bag of Three Musketeers, leaving the clerk struggling to get it to go.
The store worker had to call for help, but the bear grabbed one last snack and sauntered off before authorities arrived.
The bear’s repeated raids ended when the California Department of Fish and Wildlife intervened.
The wildlife officers successfully captured the bear and released it back into the wild, bringing relief to the store’s staff and customers.
With the bear gone, business returned to normal, and gas station patrons could shop without worrying about unexpected furry visitors.
