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.

Or anything that smells BAD! Not that you would keep gross stuff in your car, but bears eat garbage, rotting food, anything.
You shouldn't leave anything with a scent out at all, even if it's not food. They'll even be attracted to toothpaste, lotion, candles, etc.
