Default Found a note below an engine tray

Guys,

A note was wrapped up in a small piece like a cigarette and placed in one of the holes of the plastic tray (plastic that covers the oil pan).

I scratched the front coming off from the driveway, so I came out and look under and found it.

The paper had some directions.

Must be some idiot trying to snoop under to get an idea to steal my car.

The thing is I work at a bank and usually park somewhere safe if I go out.. Don’t know where it came from.

Tony

do you know what that business is into? maybe it's a chop shop of some sort. you should possibly report that so other people don't get screwed over.

Maybe you've been brainwashed and the next time you hear a certain song on the radio you will have to go to that address and kill the Prime Minister of Burma...or not.

Yeah man, you should definitely check the place out. You could uncover a terrorist group/communist's plan to steal all the Zs and use them to take over america. Or something.

Service guy at Nissan said he had a customer keep coming in with this odd noise when ever he would make a turn. He said they would replace everything they could think of and the car kept coming in with that same issue.

Nissan sent someone over and eventually found a ball with a note attached in some sort of plastic in the frame. It read...."You finally found me *******!" They think some ***** at the factory put it in the frame.

Dont think this is the same type thing but reminded me of that story

Maybe it got stuck there while you were driving. Things have a way of blowing into really weird places...

Yeah but this was rolled up and placed into a hole. I doubt it blew in like that. I bet it's directions from a scout to someone who is going to be paid to do the dirty work.

Put another note in that reads...

"By removing this small note you have tripped a sensor that has released a deadly array of micro-bacterium into your body...these bacterium will travel into your stomach and slowly eat away at it's lining until your stomach acid leaks out and literally digests the rest of your organs. Have a nice day! "

That'll teach someone to mess with your car! LOL
