Kenneth Johnson discovered a massive male black bear had taken up
residence in the crawl space of his Altadena home just before Thanksgiving. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) attempted to capture the beast, called Yellow 2120 by researchers, with bait and noisemakers.
But their efforts were unsuccessful on December 9 when they trapped a smaller bear instead. 'I knew my bear hadn’t gone out because I’ve got enough cameras on it,' Johnson told the Los Angeles Times. The department tagged and released the smaller bear, but Johnson said Yellow 2120 is still terrorizing his home despite his efforts to flush the creature out.
Johnson is now threatening to sue the department, accusing officials of negligence and emotional distress after he claimed they suddenly told him to stand down on his efforts to remove the bear. Johnson told local media that he can still hear the bear moving around and is fearful for his safety.
'I can hear the plastic being shredded underneath, and one of the cameras picked it up just bulldozing through it. It's a mess under there,' Johnson said. Johnson was forced to shut off his gas on Christmas Eve after he captured video of a broken pipe by the bear, and said he has not had hot water since.

There's still some great year-end deals available.
