By way of some light relief:

BBC: Bears raid honey store after enclosure escape

Heart-warming story of two rescue bears nipping out for some refreshment. Would obviously been less heart-warming had the emergency team mistaken the huge sugar rush the bears were enjoying as a sign of aggression, and had them shot, but all's well that ends well.

That's a bit of a Boo Boo if someone left the gate to their enclosure open. Still, in making a beeline for the honey they showed that they are smarter than the average bear.

look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities

Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities

That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Book 'em, Lou. One count of being a bear. And one count of being an accessory to being a bear.

"headed straight for the honey store"

Planned heist.

Expect an ITV made movie about it soon.

Clearly a semi-professional crew. Apparently the bear not captured on camera during the raid was wearing a ski mask and carrying a stopwatch, as soon as they got into the honey store it jumped onto a table, started the timer and yelled "2 minutes" at the other one.

The other one just scratched its arse, mumbled 'whatevah' and started snuffling up the honey whilst gurning at the CCTV camera. As I said, semi-professional.

I suspect these neer-do-wells will find themselves in a sticky situation.

Perhaps there is something they can offer the judge as a bit of a sweetener?

Maybe coming down from the sugar rush has made them grumpy?
