It wasn't until the vehicle's heating system began to malfunction as well that he eventually decided to drive to a garage and have a mechanic take a look at it.

When the mechanic opened up the engine compartment, however, he was shocked to discover that the cause of all these issues was in fact a huge stash of hazelnuts.

The nuts were everywhere - filling up all the internal spaces and even the air vents.In total, it took two hours to completely remove all the hazelnuts from the car's interior.

While it might seem as though a squirrel would be the most likely culprit in all of this, it turned out that the actual animal responsible for stashing all the nuts in the car was a rat.

The car itself had been kept in a garage during the day and it just so happened that the man had been storing a large bag of hazelnuts nearby.

The rat, for whatever reason, had repeatedly snuck into the bag and moved the nuts to the car.
