Confronting a bear

Yesterday I looked out of the window to see what birds were feeding in our back yard, and there is a large black bear with our suet cake in his mouth.  I had just put that cake out no more than an hour before, and here is this bear walking off with it like a dog with a frisbee in its mouth.  Those cakes cost about $2.00, and it really irritated me.  I went out the back door and yelled "Drop it!”

The bear looked over at me, didn’t change his pace, and continued on his way.  I’ll admit it was kind of neat to see a bear that close, but the attitude still bugs me.  Aren’t they supposed to be afraid of humans?  If it happens again I am going to go after him (or her, I can’t tell the difference) with the broom.
