There were no doughnuts inside it at the time but Kim Robertson says the smell that had lingered in the car appeared to have attracted the bear.

The bear made its attempt on Monday as the car sat parked in the couple's driveway.

Police officer John McCartin says he smelled doughnuts standing outside the damaged vehicle.

He joked: "I guess if anyone is an expert about this, it's us."
