Two bears ransacked this B.C. family's SUV. Dad, mom, kids and dogs slept through it all

As Sean McQuillan lay sleeping next to his wife around 3 a.m., two pugs dozing at the end of the bed, his phone started to buzz with call after call. A trio of RCMP cruisers soon pulled up in front of the family home in Coquitlam, B.C. Pajama-clad neighbours stood groggy but wide-eyed at their windows, filming the reason for it all.

Two gangly black bears were rummaging through the McQuillan’s grey Chevy Tahoe, which was parked in their driveway. The driver’s side and rear passenger doors were flung open as the animals worked under the streetlight.
