Around the same time I noticed a rattle noise from the back (as I pulled out of my driveway), I noticed some slight smears on the dash and the gauge cluster, and what is that?? a mouse turd on the passenger seat?! Oh, Frak Me! Suddenly I notice marks all over the dash near the windshield and, oh man - a couple acorns in the fingerwell of the passenger door.
Morning workplace googles result in facts like adolescents mice can fit through holes the size of a pen, adults a dime. So maybe it's a very ambitious mouse that could wrestle a nut up there... or the pele of mice perhaps? It certainly can't be the dreaded chipmunk... I've a hunterkiller tabby that feasts on munk brain every chance he gets...
Reason enough to take a afternoon off work, I headed out to my workshop with the M and after pulling the front seats and finding no damage, I tackled the rear seat:
Fsck Me.
At least, amazingly, no damage to the interior and no odors - must of just caught him - the car was parked for over a week.
How could this happen? Any thoughts of where to find a hole big enough that a acorn laden 'munk could fit through?? I'll admit, I had not set the fan to recirculate, but how the hell does the bastard get in through there with nuts the size of nickels and (almost) quarters?
