The bobcat appeared unimpressed with the high-tech lure and remained in its hideout. "It was pretty funny," Shelly said. "I don't think any of us knew what to do." The bobcat didn't budge.

The next morning, it did — and its behavior was caught on video. "All of a sudden, out of the background, an adult bobcat comes walking in across a log," Bartoszek described.

"I have a bobcat in my car," a caller reported to dispatch, Sheriff Mike Lukas wrote in a Facebook post. It's unclear exactly where the incident took place, other than in Portage County.
