PASADENA, CA – A Pasadena, California man’s homecoming turned chaotic when he found a massive, uninvited guest taking over his property. After fleeing the destructive Eaton Fire last month, Sean Lorenzini came back to his residence expecting relief. Instead, he encountered a 500-pound bear making itself at home beneath his house. The wildfires that tore through the state left his property intact, but this furry intruder has changed everything.

Unexpected Roommate Takes Over

Lorenzini dubbed the bear “Yogi,” inspired by the famous cartoon character known for mischief in Jellystone Park.

The animal, estimated at seven feet tall and weighing up to 600 pounds, has settled in under the house. Evidence of its presence is clear—blown fuses, disturbed insulation, and a mess left behind from its rummaging.

Lorenzini insists the bear poses a danger, though he acknowledges humans are the ones encroaching on its natural habitat.

Nighttime Feasts and Pool Parties

The bear’s routine has become a neighborhood spectacle.

It emerges mostly at night to forage for food, but it’s also been caught lounging in Lorenzini’s pool during the day.

Utility workers tasked with restoring power to the home fled the scene after spotting the hulking creature. Despite its size, the bear has avoided direct confrontations with people so far, sticking to its own agenda.

Neighborhood Watches Warily

Nearby residents have noticed the bear’s impact too.

Glen Ferris, a neighbor, reported claw marks scratched into local trash cans. His son, whose bedroom is close to Lorenzini’s property, hears the bear’s movements regularly as it slips in and out of its makeshift den.

While the animal hasn’t caused major trouble yet, its presence keeps the community on edge.

A Call for Removal

Lorenzini wants the bear gone but stresses he doesn’t want it harmed. He fears that even if it’s relocated, the persistent creature might return.

The situation reflects a broader challenge in California, where wildlife and human spaces increasingly overlap after natural disasters like wildfires. For now, Lorenzini’s home remains a battleground between man and beast.
