If being trapped in a car during rush hour sometimes seems unbearable, just imagine how a young bruin felt when it got trapped in Tim Hamilton's SUV.

It happened back in October when the animal opened an unlocked door on Hamilton's Toyota Sequoia, which was parked outside his cabin near Waterton Lakes National Park, and climbed inside.

Nobody knows for sure how it became trapped but the winds are typically strong in that part of southern Alberta and the prevailing theory is that a gust blew the door shut.

Experts suspect the bear was only in the vehicle for a few minutes before finally crashing through the rear window to freedom. But in that time it did $60,000 worth of damage and the SUV was a complete write-off. (see photos of the damage below)

Pictures of the vehicular mauling have been posted and re-posted on websites and blogs around the world for months, but the Calgary businessman and avid outdoorsman has been reluctant to speak publicly about them until now.

"I didn't want people to portray it as an aggressive bear or a mean bear or a dangerous bear," Hamilton explained about why he wanted to keep the incident quiet at the time.

"I'm kind of pro-bear."

When I saw the title, I thought, 'You get a new car.'

Opened up the story, and saw I was right.....

Why crap in the woods when he can crap on your passenger seat!

Imagine if it had set off the airbag.

This is fake. That wasn't a bear, that was the guy's ex-wife after she found out his sorry *** was cheating on her. :laugh2:

In the third shot with the polar bear-he's got a "I see what you did there" look on his face.
