I've name changed as I'm sure when word gets round it will be very outing. We will use "pom bears" as a term of reference for how long I've been here 😂

A large bear has appeared in my brother in laws drive. In his parking space.

Very handsome, but very large 😂

No idea who dropped him off. Or even how I missed him being dropped off. (We face his drive). 😂😂😂😂

Photo or it didn’t happen

I need more information before I can get excited about this. Is he a real bear or a stuffed bear? What is he wearing? Does he have a picnic? Have you tried talking to him?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 21/07/2022 16:23

Does he drive a Ford Ranger, and is the bear in it?

Mrsjayy · 21/07/2022 16:24

A bear bear 🐻 or not a real bear bear

teenagerinlove · 21/07/2022 16:24

Has he come from deepest darkest Peru? Is he eating marmalade sandwiches?

Toottooot · 21/07/2022 16:25

Far does he bide?

He is a very large statue. At least 8 ft tall.

He is black. DCs have named him Billy 😂

DS would be delighted but sadly not. He loves Paddington 😂

Is he in North America?

Not the same at all, I know, but there have been loads of deer, badgers and other wildlife emerging from the suburban shrubbery here on my late night drives since the weather got warm (large town in South West England). Much prettier than the ubiquitous foxes but I’m worried that they’ve been flushed out in search of water.

BIL does indeed drive a Ford Ranger 🤣

I bet your brother ordered that after a "'lemonade" or 5 😄

HinchcliffeandMurgatroyd · 21/07/2022 16:28

A mystery statue?!

user143677433 · 21/07/2022 16:28

Did he bring a picnic basket?

(here for the photo)

is it a carved bear? Like one of those tree stump chainsaw things?

HinchcliffeandMurgatroyd · 21/07/2022 16:28

Maybe it’s a brown bear bollard.

If it was a bollard it's a bloody big bollard. It's twice the height of me! 😂

Having had a bear take a stroll in my drive more than once, my first thought was, “so?”

a statue is much more interesting

Sometimes a penguin bollard just won’t do. 😉

I thought it was going to be a Rangers da overindulged in the sun 😂<waits for 98% of mn to look baffled>

On closer inspection he's quite a bit creepy. His eyes either have reflectors in them or are painted a very light colour. I can see him watching me from my house 😨

Maybe there's someone inside the bear watching you, watching the bear...

Hm2020 · 21/07/2022 16:57

This is creepy and I’m here for the picture also.

SpamplusOnionisntASalad · 21/07/2022 17:02

This is what happened when you live too close to extended family... You definitely should have houses beyond one another's line of sight ...
