How do you total a vehicle without scratching the outside?

   
 There are no scratches on the outside of this car, but the
 vehicle is totaled!

 


 
A man in Waterton Park ,  (south of Calgary ), came out  to
find the inside of his 18  month old Toyota Sequoia  trashed.

 


 
A grizzly bear had  somehow got a door open.
Once inside it got  trapped when the door shut behind  him,
probably by the  wind.

 

The Toyota was the  Platinum edition, all the door  panels were ripped

off, the  head-liner torn to pieces, all  headrests, the leather seats, the

dash  shredded. The steering column was twisted  Sideways. Two of the  

six airbags went off, the  other four the bear ripped to  pieces.



 
You can imagine a  trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag  in an

enclosed space! He  must have figured he was in for the fight of his  life,

and  by the looks of this car,  he won the  fight.



 
When the bear ripped off  the door panels he also clawed  all the wiring

harnesses  out. Toyota figures every wire he pulled or  clawed at resulted  

in alarm bells, voices or  sparks.



 
The head mechanic at  Calgary Toyota doubted if they  had
the expertise to put  this vehicle back together, even if  they
had enough parts to do  it. And, to add insult to injury,  the
bear took a big Dump in  the back of the SUV . . . and  then
broke out the rear  window.

 
(So a bear  dosen’t always s--t in the  woods.)

 


 
Fish and wildlife  officers have inspected the damage  and figure it was a

3 year old  Grizzly.

 


 
The vehicle has been  written off by the insurance company.
The  cost of this fully optioned vehicle new was over  $70,000,
and it stopped  counting the repair costs at $60,000  plus.
