[November 08, 2007]  VERNON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) -- A black bear put his own spin on trick-or-treating when it broke into a van to get Halloween candy. Police believe the bear dislodged the parking brake, causing the manual transmission vehicle to roll about 40 feet down the street before stopping on a shoulder.

That's where a patrolman discovered candy wrappers in and outside the vehicle, along with paw prints, smudge marks, drool and black bear hair.

Police say the patrolman followed a trail into the woods, but the suspect got away.
