I was more commenting on how even the “normal” part of the story was weird. He didn’t even get a few sentences in before it felt wonky, and went off the rails from there.
E: If this random woman hit the bear, talked to him, let him load it up, and then saw the exact same bear show up in Central Park, wouldn’t she have reported that? If she wasn’t there, how did he know her gender? Neither of those stories make sense to me.
