Spotted a bear going through our trash bin in north Longmont west of 23rd and main around 11pm. Be careful if you're in the area.

Good to know.

Glad you posted this. I just moved to Longmont along Airport Rd. Do you all think it is better to keep my trash can outside or in the garage? Don’t want a bear breaking down the garage door.

Honestly I wouldn't even worry about it. It's not like bears are all over the place.
If you stop doing what you'd normally be doing, then the bears have already won.

That's a looong way from the mountains! I saw a bear in Boulder, but I can't imagine their commute to Longmont.

Looked like a smaller possibly baby bear too. I was scared to go out and fix the bins for fear of the mamma bear. (Which I never saw)

Did you inform the authorities? If we are really going to be dealing with bears in the city now I think they should know about it :-(

I did call animal control.
I have a couple pictures but they mighty be identifying so i don't really want to post.

God, this subreddit is so much cooler than NextDoor. This was the correct response.

Let the bears pay the bear tax, I pay the Homer tax.

As long as they pay the bear tax.
