This is mostly for Auto Techs, but I'd love to here some resposes.

What kind of things have been found in, under or on a car you worked on?

This question came up today at work when another Tech. found a, "cats leg" under the hood of a car!
A list of some things I've found:
An airbox loaded with dog food from squirrels (car wouldn't start)
Puke in a glovebox (girls friend swore she puked in the curb)
Green chicken leg in center console cooler of Conversion Van
Many mouse nests
Dead mice in blower motor fan
Part of a Deer leg and skin ("I hit a Deer, please check for damage." No damage, but did you run over a carcuse?)
Many tools, including a 3ft pry bar
A baby snake tucked up in a fender. Fell out after a co-worker removed the wheel.(should of seen him run!)
I'm sure I can think of more!
Oh yeah, a car from Florida getting an oil change, we found a Gecko! (yes, alot of insurance jokes flew around)

 

I'm not a tech but I work at a dealership and there was a dead cat stuck in the radiator fan and man that thing stunk. also we have had rabbits chew through wires on our new cars. I opened up a hood of a car cause it wouldn't start and damn rabbit jumped out and scared the crap outta me. and of course mice ,rats

 

my dad once put a bunch of baby powder in the air vents of my uncle's black on black c5 vette and then wiped the residue off of the vents so when he turned it on ...POOF!!!.....and my mom had a smell coming from her car last winter on the outside of it so when i went under there to look, the neighbors cat who USED to get out all the time climed into the engine bay from under the car to keep warm in the winter, and he became a little well done!

 

Cats, mice... to say the least...

 

What's with cats under hoods? I went "rockcrawling" in N.E.Pennsy and a guy from the club towed his Bronco up, and before he unloaded it from the trailer we heard a "meow". Under the hood was a kitten. Some little girl on the trail ride talked her father into keeping it.

 

it's warm... the same with snakes...

 

A rotting squirrle and chipmunk lodged behind the engine.

 

only thing ever under my hood was a beastly 2.2 Ecotec engine

My prix had a mice nest in the airbox before i put an intake on.

 

i know someone with a Z that found 4 kittens in his engine bay right near the pullies and belts.
