>A driver in Carol Stream says a band of hungry squirrels caused nearly $30,000 in damage to three different luxury vehicles because of plant-based parts they view as a tasty snack.
>Myron Sonkin has parked his cars in his business's outdoor parking lot for more than 20 years. But when he parked his new BMW there earlier this year, something about the new car couldn't keep ravenous rodents away.
>
The BMW dealership found claw marks, chew marks and even the makings of a cozy den. The culprit had chewed on the hood release cable, the coolant reservoir level sensor, the transmission area, and pulled away insulation to build the nest.
>Sonkin's car had $10,000 worth of damage. They gave him a loaner BMW, but the furry culprit went nuts under the hood again. That bill was $14,000.
>So they gave him another loaner car, and there was yet another rodent raid; the third time, the damage cost $6,000 to repair.
>CBS News Chicago Invesigators reached out to BMW for comment on this issue, but did not receive a response. We want to note that many car manufacturers use these kinds of plant-based, biodegradable materials, not just BMW.
