This time for some utterly unknown reason I decided to drop the tow hitch. Opened the glove box to get the key and, holy ****, a rat stares back at me. Well, I was a bit quicker slamming the glovebox lid than it was getting out of the way. D4 glovebox lid =1, rat = 0.
Unbelievable lucky in all this, I can not imagine the damage the big rodent would have done, eating leather seats, wiring..............who knows what else. I do wonder how it got in, but never mind, also set a trap in the car for the next couple of nights just in case it had some mates along for the ride. The mind absolutely boggles what would have transpired if SWMBO had opened the golvebox for something on the way home ....
Anyway, just though it might brighten the day, have a great 2018 everyone.

You must have had the terrain response set to "mud and rats"

Had she found it, my wife would have been irRATional for days.

It was very consideRAT of you to give the little guy a lift home.

idn't get into the Disco but h

ad a rat enter the Caravan in Mataranka. Had to wait until Mt Isa to buy a rat trap. Then we had a few more days of scratching and chewing before we finally caught it with a peanut on a trap. Best traps are the cheapest and a nut stuck on hard so they have to pull. Even then I had to drown it as it wasn't dead and I wasn't going to let it get back inside.
