As a result of such reports (and having seen a mama bear and 2 cubs outside the window one day), we no longer leave the first-floor windows open at night, and we're a lot more careful not to leave food, garbage, or other aroma-producing items in a place where the smell could lure them to break in.

Sorry, I do forget about the larger animals, Down here in So CT the bear still roam quite a ways inland. I was thinking raccoons and deer, but same same. Keeping the doors and windows closed and locked are the basic protection schemes to prevent man or animal from taking or wrecking what wasn't theirs when they got there.
