Default Help with evicting squatter

Ok so there is a chipmunk that has decided to make my ls430 home, while I admire his/her taste they need to leave regardless they have not paid rent in months lol. It seems to be in the front end and will go into the cabin any ideas are welcome.

I would suggest establishing a gofundme page for the chipmunk. You will probably raise at least 75k in a matter of minutes. With that money, you can create a local "Chipmunks' Paradise" which will be a place where all local chipmunks can get together and hang out. With the free food and drink for life offered here, they will no longer be interested in the LS. Be careful not to mix the money up, keep it separate from your personal accounts. Good luck!

I'm in... where's the link?

Did a quick search and plenty of advice on how to deter chipmunks...but nothing specific for keeping them out of your Lexus.

Hey do you know of a salvage yard on Geyser Rd. in Saratoga Springs, called Clarkies? Clarkie helped me keep my Volvo on the road for 8 years, heck he sold me a used motor/tranny that lasted that duration--I had gotten totally ripped off by the seller who sold me the car with blown headgaskets--it drove fine initially, because of that Bar's Leak. Why I thought of him was he had tons of chipmunks in his yard, and his shop had various pics of him with chipmunks and feeding them. He loved those creatures. He also had a sign:

Labor Rates

$24/hr. (can you tell this was quite some time ago?)
$28/hr. if you watch
$36/hr if you help
