I want to report bear sighting in my front yard at around 11:30 of September 29. I heard a noise like someone is dragging the desk in my front porch, but when I look through the window to check I noticed my trash was knocked down. I went outside with a ski pole and a stick in hand hoping to ward off any intruders and was startled to see a six-foot brown bear staring at me. Terrified, I ran back to the house and notified the Altadena Sheriff. They came after about twenty minutes and I was told that there is a family of three bears roaming Altadena. Be on the lookout.
I live at Mount Curve Avenue east of Lake Avenue near Farnsworth Park.
