Account
Policeman responding to a complaint by a Bridgewater resident that a "thing" was making a noise in his back yard was sitting parked in the dark when something started to pick up the rear of his car. He spun the car around and got his spotlight on something like a bear running around the corner of the house. Nothing said about posture, but bears don't pick up cars.
