A black bear has been showing up in a neighborhood outside L.A. for a month, and yesterday morning authorities finally caught it. But not before it gave one resident the scare of his LIFE. The guy heard helicopters, went outside to see what was going on, and came face-to-face with the bear. He didn't see it until it was about ten feet in front of him . . . because he was walking and texting. A local news station got it all on video, and the anchors immediately started laughing.  (Check out the video below!) The bear was eventually tranquilized and set free into heavily wooded area.
