Default Rabbits Wreaking Havoc On Cars At Denver Airport

It's bad enough that you're consuming yourselves as a country.

Now the rabbits are helping to finish the job.

"My insurance didn’t cover it"

Ah ha - you bunch of lusers.

Insurance companies always find a way to worm themselves out of paying.

"Hungry hares are not just a problem at DIA - other private
parking lots are having trouble too. Lot owners tell CBS4
that they’re trying to deter the rabbits with extra fencing
and coyote urine."

Yea - that's where I want to live - in a city reeking with the smell of
coyote urine.

====================

DENVER (CBS4) Travelers have a warning for drivers who park their cars
near Denver International Airport (DIA). Rabbits are chewing the wires
under many cars costing owners a lot of money. The rabbits get in and
chew the brake lines, the clutch lines and other wiring. Local car
repair shops estimates they can do thousands of dollars in damage.

“When I had the trouble with the oil light coming on, the dealer told me
the wires that controlled the air conditioning were chewed,” said Ken
Blum, one car owner who knows all about the not so funny bunny business
at DIA.

Blum has had to have repairs done on his car twice due to rabbit damage
and he estimates the cost at approximately $700.

“I saw no signs…nothing to tell me, ‘Hey, beware’,” Blum told CBS4. “My
insurance didn’t cover it, the manufacturer didn’t cover it.”

This isn’t a new problem at the airport. CBS4 first started covering
hungry hares in 1999. They were munching on the wires of de-icing
equipment. Now it seems they’ve moved to the outlying parking lots.

CBS4 contacted airport officials about the problem. They said that only
a small percentage of the people who park out there ever complain of
rabbit caused car problems. They also told CBS4 that United States
Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services agents patrol the parking
lots and remove rabbits when they see them.

Hungry hares are not just a problem at DIA, other private parking lots
are having trouble too. Lot owners tell CBS4 that they’re trying to
deter the rabbits with extra fencing and coyote urine.
