Watch: Bear steals candy, pumpkin from Connecticut porch
Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A black bear with a sweet tooth visited the front porch of a Connecticut home to raid a bowl of Halloween candy and steal a pumpkin.
Crystal Cooke shared security camera footage showing the bear taking the bowl of Halloween candy she left out for trick-or-treaters last week and settling down to enjoy the snack in front of her porch.
Cooke told WFSB-TV the bear "missed the 'just take one' rule."
She said the bear also raided some snacks she leaves out for delivery drivers and ended up taking one of her family's pumpkins.
An Asheville, N.C., woman's security camera recorded a similar scene in the lead-up to Halloween when a trio of young bears climbed into her family's porch and feasted on pumpkins.
