Locking your car won't necessarily keep a bear out of it - they can break a windshield or window if they want in. Sorry to tell you that but it is true. The only reason they'd break into a car is for food, so DON'T leave any food or food stuff in your car. My cousins were camping in Yosemite and were sleeping in a tent. The rangers tell you to put all your food in your vehicle - NOT in the tent with you. A bear broke out their windshield and got their food while they watched from the tent.

So, the key is not to leave anything that smells good in your car.
