WILD bears which broke into a holiday cabin in the USA have made off with a host of goodies - including a packet of antihistamines.
The incident took place in Gatlinburg, Tennessee last Fri, where Michelle Eberhart was taking a break with friends.
She was inside when the bear broke in, taking refuge in a bedroom while the creature ransacked the place.
Eventually police arrived and were able to chase the ursine intruder away.
"They got five pounds of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and a pound of M&Ms and two pounds of Sour Patch Kids and two bags of potato chips," Eberhart told a local TV station.
"They also got two beers and two Diet Cokes and about 20 Zyrtecs," she added.
Sounds like that was one long weekend of bingeing ruined!
Authorities in the UK have once again reminded the public that the 999 emergency number is really only for emergencies.
The official update followed a recent call to the West Yorkshire Police Contact Management Centre with a complaint that the caller's hot water wasn't hot.
"If you haven't got any hot water and your heating isn't working then you'll need an engineer. Ringing 999 asking for the police won't help you," the Centre tweeted.
A similar reminder was issued by Essex Police last month, after a caller reported that they could hear a neighbour snoring loudly.
