been having car troubles (think the battery i warrantied and swapped got swapped for another dud 💀 checked for a parasitic draw and didn’t find one) and i discovered a critter in the car today. it’s alive but didn’t seem very enthusiastic about moving, i think it was probably sleeping. not sure how it survived in there in this heat, but whatever. might be an opossum?
any advice for getting it out of my car if it’s still there tomorrow? i’m a suburb baby, i’ve only heard of finding animals in your cars in myths and legends 💀 was thinking i would gear up from the waist down and poke it till it leaves with my umbrella, but i’d appreciate a more experienced perspective
This is where that 9mm is handy. A bit of brandishing is all it should take to scare them away. But if they should take a single step towards you, then you are cleared hot to empty the 17 round magazine, (you have one of those right?), into various parts of your car as long as you don’t hit the critter.
Good Luck!
