3. I have bears in my yard

frequently. One fall, a bear politely slid open a window in the shop building in my backyard. I keep bird seed and chicken feed in there...anyway Mr/Ms Bear got inside, panicked and raised all kinds of hell until he/she figured out how to just go out the way it came in. He/She tore sheet rock off the walls down to the studs, tore molding from around windows and left a dandy nose print six feet up on a window. It even tipped a cabinet over behind the door so I couldn’t get in the next day. Bear’s final calling card was a big pile of poop full of apples that it no doubt had eaten from my tree. I had to climb in the same window that bear had used to enter my shop because of the cabinet that had been pulled down preventing me from going in the door. It was a big mess. I called my homeowners insurance to check on my coverage for such an incident and guess what? Not covered. Apparently I needed a “wild animal damage rider” on my policy. Yeah, true story. Bastards....insurance companies, not bears.
