Help, I'm confused?????????

So I was walking home from school and this guy in a bear costume comes up to me and introduces himself as "Pedro". He seemed friendly, and then he asked "Do you like candy?". Well I just HAD to say "Yes." because chocolate is AWESOME. So after I replied, Pedro takes me to this white van and tries to get me to go in it. I decided not to do it. I am confused in so many ways. Could someone please explain why a kidnapper would be dressed in a bear costume? It would make it hard to sneak around in.
