To avoid any possible confusion, bears stands here for my pals with teeth and claws, not for the humans that claim that name too 
A (weird?) study has been made in 2009: what car is more likely to be targeted by bears for vehicle break-ins in Yosemite National Park...
Conclusion is:
"Black bears forage selectively to balance energetic and nutritional gains with foraging costs. Selection of minivans by bears in Yosemite National Park was the likely consequence of efforts to maximize caloric gain and minimize costs by targeting vehicles with higher probabilities of payoff".
Here is the article of ConservationMaven.com about that study.
In a nutshell, in addition to being big, having huge claws and running fast, bears are also clever. Forget the teddy bear look, and never try to play with them
(I know it's not a minivan, but it's the picture of the article. And how could I resist to a picture showing a bear AND a '67 El Camino?
