Squirrel's acorns cause car to break down

[Blackleaf]

A holidaymaker returned from a break to find his car wasn't working - after a squirrel stuffed the mechanics full of hundreds of acorns.

Stunned motorist Andrew Wilkins, 25, says the rodent stashed its hoard of nuts in his Volkswagen Golf.

His vehicle was turned into a winter supply store by the squirrel who hid the acorns in the gearbox, the glove compartment and inside the bonnet.

The stash was only discovered when Andrew, an estate agent from Reigate in Surrey, took his car to a garage because he was unable to change gear easily.

He said: 'I had some squirrel squatters for a month. I feel bad - I ruined their winter and all their hard work.'

I threw a sock away today.

It had a hole in it.

I do that too sometimes, but only after using it as a rag first. Might as get one last use out of it.

Good idea.

Depending on the size of the hole in the sock, and as long as the sock is clean, you can use it to break nuts too. You put the nut in it and then swing it against a hard surface.

Oh my.

It's so dirty.

That's why you wash it first.

I should park my car next to a squirrel family all summer and then have acorn feasts all winter after I drive off with them. That would be a little cruel towards the poor things, wouldn't it. Nah, I won't do that. I couldn't sleep at night knowing that some poor squirrel is starving to death because of me.

The poor again!

The poor again!

You're not supposed to leave the door open on the treadmill that powers a Volkswagen Golf.
