I wonder who will serve the eviction notice (and other animal antics)
-
An Altadena homeowner says he has been living with a massive and uninvited roommate — a 500-pound black bear that has taken up residence beneath his home, all caught on his outdoor surveillance cameras.
Ken Johnson told KTLA that he installed cameras near a crawlspace after noticing items around the area knocked over or damaged. What he found left him stunned.
“It was really big. I’ve seen him before, but he was going through the trash and then the next morning he’s coming out from underneath my house,” Johnson said.
Since then, the bear hasn’t just returned — it’s moved in. Johnson says he sees the animal slipping in and out of the crawlspace every day “like it owns the place.”

Finally.
On Tuesday, a Lake Tahoe-based non-profit called Bear League stepped in to help Johnson by shooting at the bear with paintball guns, which drove it from under the house.
“I couldn’t believe it was so fast,” Johnson told KTLA. “These guys went in, they crawled in behind him and, boom, he was out.”
The bear tried to come back two days later but was met with a deterrent – an electrified mat that covered the crawl space’s entrance, according to KTLA. Johnson added that since the bear’s removal, he’s been able to assess the damage it left, which includes a ruptured gas line.
