LACONIA, N.H. --

A black bear walked into a New Hampshire house through an open door, ate two pears and a bunch of grapes, took a drink from the family fishbowl and grabbed a stuffed bear on its way out the door.
Mary Beth Parkinson said the bear apparently took advantage of the open outside door to get into her kitchen Tuesday in Laconia, about 20 miles north of Concord. At first she thought she had been burglarized.
"We found this (Teddy) bear, as well as a box of Goldfish crackers, on the lawn," Parkinson said.
She said her young sons left the back sliding door open and the bear came right in.
"This bear apparently came through the open door -- my sons didn't close the door -- smelled the fruit on the counter and ate the fruit," she said.
She also found water all over the kitchen, her fishbowl raided as well.
"There was one fish left in here, one flipping on the counter," Parkinson said.
She thinks the garage door going up scared the bear enough that it fled the house.
She said she arrived in time to save the fish. She said the crazy part of the story was the real bear taking off with the stuffed bear.
"I thought maybe it was a cub that she had and lost and it looked like a little baby cub to her and she picked it up and then dropped it when she had to jump over the wall to get away," Parkinson said.
Parkinson said her 6- and 9-year-old boys made sure the doors were locked before they went to bed, although wildlife officials said black bears are generally not dangerous. Still, they advise avoiding contact with them.
They said July is an active time for bears because they are in between food cycles.

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Funny story. But I have a couple questions: How does she know it was a bear who broke into the house? Why would a bear think a stuffed teddy bear maybe 1/30th the size of a cub, was the one she had lost?

    I call shenanigans, or however that goes.

    That one was just sent as a test for my super army of stealth bears. He did well. Soon, you can all expect to find marauding bears in your homes and even beds while you try to sleep. Soon, the world will be ours once again! Mwahahahahahahaha
