Not me.

A former roomate was in the Canadian Cold Ocean Research group.
He spent 18 months on Baffin Island. Had a great photo of himself
standing on the ice in his cold weather gear. You could just about
tell it was a human under all that fur.

The cook from the next camp over was in the habit of taking his
garbage to the same spot every day. One day he was a little late.
They found the skidoo. They found bear tracks up to the sled and
away.

They never found any sign of the cook.

Polar bears should be viewed from behind some stout barrier
that is known to stop polar bears.
