A Manitoba woman awoke to loud honking in her driveway early Thursday but she wasn't late for her carpool pickup -- instead a bear cub had broken into her truck, gotten stuck and found a way to honk the truck's horn.

And that wasn't all.

"I looked outside my window, I saw a mother bear and her cub hanging around my truck," said Anita Hudson.

But the two bears weren't just standing there. They were jumping on the Chevy Avalanche truck, pawing at it, and appeared intent on getting inside the vehicle.

Hudson took out her cell phone and started recording the action, then saw movement inside the truck as well as on top.

“I'm videotaping them and I see a movement inside my truck and I go 'oh my God! Someone's trying to steal my truck,'” Hudson said. She assumed someone had broken into her truck in an attempt to steal it, and had become trapped by the bears.

She quickly realized it wasn't a person trapped inside -- but yet another bear cub.

"There's a cub inside my truck!" she exclaims in the video.

Hudson realized the mother bear and one of her cubs were agitated because the second cub had become trapped inside the vehicle, and they were trying to get it out.

As it turned out, Hudson's daughter had left a banana in the vehicle and the window was open a crack, providing an irresistible temptation to the cub, who somehow managed to break the door handle, open the door and climb inside. But when the door closed behind the bear, it had no way of getting back out.

Hudson called a friend's son for help, and he quickly arrived in his own truck.

"He comes barreling up the driveway and he was going to get out and I said 'no, don't get out, don't get out!'" Hudson said, over concerns that the agitated mother bear could attack her friend's son.

Instead, he pulled up beside the truck and tugged at the broken handle until he was able to pry open the damaged door.

The friend then got out of the way, and the cub came running out and immediately climbed a nearby tree.

But though the bear was gone, it had left its calling card in the form of shredded door panels, ripped seats and torn upholstery on the ceiling -- not to mention scratches dents and paw marks on the outside from the other two bears.

Hudson reported the damage to Manitoba Public Insurance and set up an appointment to discuss the damage. She said her insurance adjuster seemed dubious of her story.

"They're like, do you have any proof? And I said well I have videos and pictures and they said great bring those along because we'll need those."

The province of Manitoba warns against leaving food in vehicles parked in rural areas. Bears are known to have a highly sensitive sense of smell and will often go to great lengths to get at food left inside vehicles, tents or trailers.
