July 22 (UPI) -- Authorities in Vermont said a bear that broke into a home and ransacked the kitchen was a "real Vermont bear" that went straight for the maple syrup.
Underhill Animal Control & Safety said in a Facebook post the juvenile male bear climbed into the home through an open window and raided the kitchen.
"He was obviously a real Vermont bear since he only chose the VT Maple Syrup & organic grapes & did not get into the garbage filled with salmon scraps," the post said.
Animal control said the bear returned to the home while the residents were cleaning up, but they were able to scare it away.

due East from Underhill... 2 mornings ago I woke to a noise on my back porch and thought it was my daughter as she had to leave early to get to work (luckily the back door was latched- I don't lock my doors, but make sure they are shut tight at night- not our 1st experience with bears here). As I was drifting off again, I heard banging and knew what it was... I ran out the back door to see a huge bear halfway into my shed which he had been able to open (a sliding barn door) I yelled for him to get out of there and by that time he had grabbed a large tub and turned with the tub in front paws and stood on hind legs... I really wish I had a camera with me 
I told the bear to go and he reluctantly threw down the tub and sauntered back out to the woods... just a casual everyday experience here in Vermont
