Hungry Bear Swipes Taco Bell Delivery: A Viral Dinner Disaster in Florida
In a peculiar incident that unfolded in a quiet Florida neighborhood, a hungry black bear became an unlikely dinner guest, leaving a family in disbelief and their food delivery in the paws of a furry culprit. The entire escapade was brilliantly captured on a Ring Camera, quickly transforming into a viral sensation on social media.
The dramatic episode took place in Longwood, a serene corner of Central Florida. Laidy Gutierrez and Daniel Bula, a couple eagerly anticipating their Taco Bell feast courtesy of Uber Eats, had no inkling of the unconventional dinner guest that was about to gatecrash their plans. As the video from Friday, shared with FOX 35 Orlando, reveals, an Uber Eats delivery driver diligently dropped off their food on the front porch. Little did they know that this would set the stage for an unanticipated wildlife encounter.

Moments after the food delivery, a hulking black bear, seemingly on a quest for its own version of fast food, made its grand entrance. Nonchalantly approaching the front door, the bear nonchalantly swiped the food bag worth $45 and sauntered away with its delicious loot. The audacious bear didn’t stop there; it circled back for a refreshing soda, much to the astonishment of the onlookers.
Nicole Castro, the family’s niece, couldn’t contain her amazement when she reviewed the footage. “He came, and he grabbed the food – then he came again for the soda,” she exclaimed in disbelief.
The surprising part of this entire spectacle is that the Longwood neighborhood residents are no strangers to bear encounters. In fact, they’ve grown so accustomed to these unwelcome yet fascinating visits that checking exterior home security cameras before stepping out has become a routine practice.

In the age of instant sharing, the family decided to post the bear burglar videos on social media, where they quickly gained hundreds of thousands of views, catapulting them to viral stardom. Laidy Gutierrez, the food’s intended recipient, was amused by the online attention but declared that she would no longer opt for doorstep fast food deliveries, given the unpredictable wildlife in their midst.
Uber Eats, to their credit, issued a prompt refund for the stolen meal, demonstrating excellent customer service in the face of this unusual situation. FOX News Digital reached out to the company to inquire about their policies regarding protecting drivers from wild animal encounters, but as of now, they have not received a response.

The incident serves as a striking reminder that in some parts of Florida, even the most routine activities, like ordering takeout, can turn into unexpected encounters with the local wildlife. It’s a testament to the unique experiences that life in the Sunshine State can offer, where even a Taco Bell order can become a headline-worthy adventure.
