A Twin Cities woman has a pesky problem with her new car: squirrels leaving nuts behind in her car.
"I was freaking out because I didn't want anything wrong with it since it's brand new," said Tiffany Smith, of Fridley, Minn.
Smith said she kept hearing strange noises coming from her car and thought there were rocks in her engine.
"I popped (the hood) open, looked under it and just screamed," Smith said.
Not rocks, but thousands of walnuts stashed under the hood. At first, Smith said she thought it was a prank, but she soon found a nest.
"She was crying, and I said, 'Isn't it just a little bit funny,' and she said 'Well, I guess kind of a little funny,'" said Kim Vertbrugge, Smith's mother.
The squirrels continue to pull their gags on Smith. She keeps cleaning out the car, but the squirrels continue to fill it back up.
"There has to be more than one doing it though," Smith said. "It can't be just one squirrel. There are way too many walnuts."
