A Tahoe Keys homeowner got a big surprise after checking his home security camera footage -- a bear pawing around the property. >>Watch the video in the player above. Dr. Michael Doyle and his wife have been staying in Carmichael since being evacuated from their home in South Lake Tahoe due to the Caldor Fire. On Monday, Doyle got an alert on his surveillance system. When the pediatrician checked the video he found a bear checking out their potted plants and dumping a rain barrel. Doyle said he doesn't believe the bear made it into the home but they'll still need to pick up the mess it made outside. "It's definitely time for us to go home!" Doyle told KCRA 3. He's headed back there on Monday, grateful for fire crews that have protected homes across the region. | MORE | South Lake Tahoe evacuation zones see increase in bear break-ins
