A polar bear was arrested briefly at the Home Depot here in Fairbanks yesterday for attempting to shoplift an air conditioner. The Sheriff's Office released him shortly, however, stating "He would never have found an extension cord that long, so we saved him a long carry with that AC. It was their biggest model." The bear was lost seen heading toward the Lowe's Center across town. AAP
