A California homeowner has been desperately trying to evict an unwanted guest from his property — a 500-pound black bear that’s moved into the crawl space beneath his house. Ken Johnson, of Altadena, became suspicious of a furry squatter when he noticed trash cans knocked over and bricks dislodged around his property.
So, he set up motion-detecting surveillance cameras to alert him of the creature’s every move — and catch the culprit in the act.Motion-detecting surveillance video caught this 500-pound black bear squeezing itself in and out of a tiny crawl space underneath an Altadena home.The footage revealed the uninvited guest was actually a hulking black bear, which squeezed its body into the 2.5-by-2.5-foot crawl space — coming and going as it pleased.WH doc releases results of Trump's 'preventative' MRI after weeks of speculation“I see wildlife here all the time, but I’ve never had my crawl space torn up,” Johnson told The Post on Monday. He first noticed his crawl space was destroyed in June and put a camera there, but didn’t know the culprit was a bear until last Tuesday. On Saturday, the beastly bruin briefly emerged from his comfy new digs and popped out again Sunday night for about 20 minutes, Johnson said. “It’s scary when I don’t know where it is,” said Johnson, who was met with growling and hissing sounds on Friday when he was trying to change the batteries on the camera. To make matters worse, Johnson is stuck in a bureaucratic limbo. He contacted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, but “all I did was get the run around to go to a website to file a report about the bear online.”“I hope they can coax it out or shoot it with a tranquilizer and haul it away, but I don’t see that happening,” he said.Johnson anticipates having to take matters into his own hands — by using sweet dinner rolls to lure out the animal and then bear-proofing the crawl space with pepper spray-covered sandbags.WH doc releases results of Trump's 'preventative' MRI after weeks of speculation3.4KOlivia Nuzzi may already be out at Vanity Fair, ‘never came to a meeting’: sources ‘The View’ Hosts Debate Whether Pete Hegseth’s Narco Terrorist Boat Strikes Count As War Crimes: “Somebody Is Responsible” Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: Time, TV/Online Streaming Info, Where To Watch The 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Part 1 Review: A Singularly Superb Cast Uplifts This Show Out of the CGI Hellscape of the Upside Down Yet AgainMotion-detecting surveillance video caught this 500-pound black bear squeezing itself in and out of a tiny crawl space underneath an Altadena home.
