Local car wash workers had a shocking discovery this week when they uncovered a groundhog stuffed in the front bumper of a customer’s car. In a surprising turn of events, the little critter had been lodged there for hours before it was discovered by the car wash workers.
The car’s owner, who wished to remain anonymous, was reportedly surprised to hear about the strange discovery. “I had no idea there was a groundhog in my car. I thought I was just bringing my car in for a quick wash,” the owner said. “Apparently, I had more than just dirt and grime under my bumper.”
The car wash workers, who were initially excited at the prospect of a new car wash mascot, quickly decided that the groundhog was a health hazard and needed to be removed. “This is not what we expected when we came in today. We were hoping for a nice, easy day of spraying cars and hanging out with our new furry friend,” said one of the workers. “But we quickly realized that a groundhog in a car is not part of our job description.”
After much debate and a few phone calls to animal control, the groundhog was finally extracted from its bumper prison. The little guy appeared to be unfazed by the ordeal and quickly scurried away into the wild. “We’re just glad that nobody was hurt and that the groundhog was able to get back to his regular routine,” said another car wash worker.
The car wash owner, who was surprised to find out that his workers had made such a fuss over a little groundhog, was reportedly impressed by their dedication to animal welfare. “I had no idea my workers cared so much about animals. I mean, sure, it was a bit of a shock to find a groundhog in my car, but I never expected them to go to such great lengths to ensure its safety,” the owner said.
Animal control officials were not surprised by the unusual incident and reminded people to be cautious when driving on roads and near wildlife habitats. “It’s not uncommon for wildlife to get stuck in small spaces, like car bumpers, especially during this time of year when animals are more active,” said an animal control official. “We urge drivers to be extra cautious and to keep a close eye on their surroundings.”
As for the car wash workers, they have vowed to be more vigilant in the future. “We’re going to make sure to double-check every car that comes in from now on. We don’t want any more animal surprises,” said one of the workers.
In the end, everyone involved in the bizarre incident breathed a sigh of relief and went on with their day, grateful that the groundhog was safe and sound. But one thing is for sure: this will be a story that the car wash workers will never forget.
