35. I have 3 cats

Tue Mar 1, 2016, 02:50 PM

Mar 2016

and they are indoor cats and their litter boxes are in the garage not far from where the car is parked.

They also check the car out every time I come home. They are under it, on top of it, etc. and they'd have oil on their paws, etc. if there was anything leaking out of it.

As I mentioned, I have actually vacuumed out the garage and there is nothing to be found except what I was vacuuming up -- dirt and debris from outside and a few cat hairs/cat litter to go with it.

So nope, nothing to be found at all. Crooks is the likely DX I'm thinking now.
