Hmm. A grizzly bear's claws are strong, but I rather doubt that
they would claw through even the flimsy steel that most cars are
made of. When I was there (25 years ago), the warning was about
softtops; I can believe that they have learnt to break windows,
but have serious difficulty in believing that they tear open car
boots.
