Bear sighting

So the AA's schol was put in lockdown today due to a bear sighting. Apparently they found the bear, shot it with a tranquilizer gun and somehow let it get away. In my neighborhood. Hmmmm, what to do? Lock everything up? Put my bird suet away, so it won't be a midnight snack for a sleepy bear? Heck no! I'm leashing up my Garry boy and going on a bear hunt! (with a reluctant Ros close behind)
We have woods all around our 'hood. There are many potential hiding spots for a sleepy bear. We look in backyards, up in trees, all around the golf course. No bear. We walk through the wooded park where there are three kids and their beagle obviously on their own hunt. They didn't find a bear either. I towed Garry and Ros all over the place without any luck. After over an hour of walking, we went home, a disappointed group.
According to the news, the bear has yet to be found. So I'm leaving my suet out, with hopes of finding a furry friend in the girls tree house.
