My brother who lives in VT parked his old volvo wagon in a barn and frequently would have to clean mouse nests out from on top of the engine... they climb up to enjoy the warmth... car engines stay warm for hours ... plenty of thermal mass in a v6/V8 block.... he went canoe camping/fishing in the Adirondacks once and left some fresh ginger in his car.... the mouse crawled into the car and ate ALL of the ginger..... hell the Vt mouse must have had a party with the NYS mice that was in the car in the next parking place....
more common than you would think....
