NOW THIS IS JUST STRANGE
 

Was out cleaning my windows just a little while ago and when I was done I remembered that I had a bunch of antennas that came from the junkyard. When I went to screw off the stock antenna, this is what I found:
Attachment 30164
Has someone switched my antenna or has a bird been pecking on it or is this normal? Never noticed it before.

If it sits outside over night...maybe a cat?

Prolly birds landing on it and/or cats chewing on it at night. I'm assuming though that you park outdoors over night?

Small animals clearly chew on that.

No foot prints or bird poo anywhere in sight. Not many cats in my neighborhood. Looks like tiny punctures.......

Car vampires.

rats

RATS? :lol:Haven't seen any ladder packing rats around the area.

This could have totally been a 'squatch.

Cat is the best bet.

Rats are pretty good at climbing, although usually they'll stick to warm areas like the engine bay. If you have rats you'll almost certainly see rat droppings on top of the engine. If that's the case, put poison around your car before they chew into your wiring or insulation.

'I think there may be a squatch in these woods' :lol:Hmmmm, I do live near some woods.........

Maybe a gnarly chick looking for a quickie:lol:

2 possibilities

1 - animal: cat, squirrel, rat, etc
2 - crackhead/zombie

Ahh damn, that was me. My bad.

My guess is squirrels, or raccoons.
You might want to keep an eye on other things made of similar materials. They like that sort of thing.

I don't see why an animal would chew an I edible plastic object, except maybe a dog. Cat very unlikely, and the "bite" marks look to be With a fair amount of force. Someone traded with u? Might have been at dealer. You can have mine I'd u want, I have a shark fin.

Cats chew on objects all the time, usually after scratching themselves with it.

I have been looking for a replacement antenna for a while and discovered that a 2012 Ford Focus antenna will fit and it has a longer stem plus the stem is wrapped with a wire under the rubber coating. Also found a 31" stainless steel one in my garage that has the correct thread but I need to cut about a 1/2" off the threads so it installs flush with the collar on it. The FM reception stinks so I'm hoping one of these improves it.

Is this just all the more reason to get those sharkfin replacements?

Yep I know cats pretty well. Some of my best friends were cats.

Bath Salts!

Have you been listening to AM?

Next time, leave a 6 of Yueng behind as payment......

No, mostly FM and Sirius.

Gremlins...

I heard the car loves teeth when foreplay is involved. Sexual tendencies with this vehicle are not uncommon.

You were close, it's a yeti!

Sprinkle some baby powder of talcum powder in the area of said criminal property damage. Check the following day and take closeup photo of tracks if any. Send evidence photos to us for evaluation. You may want to rub cat food or dog food only on the antenna for better results. If a feline, check back with BRZfan and 'Killer", the feared neighborhood Doberman, will hunt it down at no charge. Any other creature will be at cost. (one case of premium dog food payable in advance)

My dog ate it?

Cats for sure my wife's parents lived with a person nextdoor that fed the cats
And they loved my tc's shorty antenna

Yep a cat did that. Looks like the antenna on my router

I don't want to say it was CATS, but...
...CATS.

Time to raise the sensitivity on your car alarm!

86's need lovin too.

Setup a gopro and find out who/what is doin it!

My buddy has caught some "women of the night" doing "things" to his truck.

Perhaps someone needed to floss, or thought they could help you get better reception if they chewed through the rubber/plastic?

Makes you think twice about where you park.

On a serious note, looks like small animals.

That'll buff out.

Any crazy ex girlfriends you have not mentioned? :bonk:

Carpires?
