Remember that episode of Seinfeld when Uncle Leo claims that he has a right as a senior citizen to shoplift, and that if he gets caught, he just pretends to be old and confused in order to avoid trouble? We think this codger of a tortoise must have caught a rerun and gotten a bright idea. But here's a word to the wise of the animal kingdom: don't attempt a grab-and-dash if you're a species that can't make a quick getaway.

If you thought finding a spider in your car was scary, try this on for size.

Recently in Florissant, Colorado, a young couple thought they heard someone breaking into their car in the wee hours of the morning. But according to the Telegraph, when the authorities showed up, what they saw in the beams of their flashlights was a tad larger than your typical skull-capped thief-in-the-night. In fact, a freakin' bear had somehow made his way into the car and accidentally closed the door behind him. Frustrated (and likely scared), he proceeded to thrash violently, setting off the car alarm.

When a deputy opened the door to the vehicle, the bear thankfully scampered off into the distance, assuring that nobody got hurt (except, of course, for the vehicle's leather upholstery).
