The Thing that Bumps in the Night

I was talking with Angie last night.  It seems that we have discovered what has been knocking over the trashcans.  According to our neighbor, it is a bear.  He is currently fixing his fence from the damage that said bear has done.  It looks like we are not going to put the trashcans in the back yard.  If we do, the bear would just go through the fence to get it.  We have one of those vinyl fences.  We are just going to have to add some clips to the cans so that it can not open them.
