Help with a mystery

[Logansky]

My T4R is a 2022 TRD off road premium. Don't think that should matter, but I'm putting it out there anyway.
Two days ago, I got into the vehicle and found a roll of Mint Mentos which still had eight left in the pack in the center console completely chewed open the paper shredded into tiny pieces and all eight Mentos missing! I suspected a mouse but where or what happened to the mentos a mystery. I searched the entire vehicle and found nothing looking under the seats and dash with a mirror even. No mouse, no mentos nothing. Vehicle was locked, windows up, cabin filter intact etc.
So how did he get in, I can't believe a tiny mouse could carry candy as large as mentos back out one at a time making eight trips or could eat eight mentos in one sitting.
I'm completely perplexed.

Not sure where your mouse got in...but if one mouse got in...many mice can get in and have a many mice Mentos party!!

Mice are industrious in that they will carry off one larger thing at a time and return as often as necessary until they have all that they want all through the night or whenever they feel safe to conduct their raids. And mice can and will squeeze through incredibly tiny spaces if they are determined to do so.

Look for a cache of your mentos somewhere near where you parked, or even elsewhere on your T4R. Until I installed feral cats on my property, dryer sheets and an ultrasonic device on my '18, I would find caches primarily in the engine air filter box and atop the cabin air filter. Now for several years now I've not found any evidence of mice intrusion on the truck, though my trail camera that I have set up occasionally catches them nearby or in the mouth of one of the cats.
