this truck has spent long periods just sitting and we have had a couple visitors. as you say, in the engine compartment. usually my terriers let me know, and they love to give chase. they bark and bark till i come out and pop the hood. one of them will hop right into that engine compartment, while the other waits below. they usually take care of the problem.

i am anticipating modifying the thing, and will likely staple some hardware cloth along the bottom or something.
