You couldn't make it up!
Jill Delaney, 74, from Kentford, said the electrics had gone, rubber was stripped from pedals and the car had to be towed to a garage to be fixed.
A spokesman from her insurance company, Saga, told the BBC: “Rats appear to have got into the car and caused...damage.”
Jill had left her car in the driveway of her rural property while visiting relatives in Cornwall for Christmas.
“The day after I got back I tried to open my car and the central locking didn’t work," she said.
“Then I saw the rubber on the pedals had been completely shredded and there were rat droppings everywhere. I know a rat dropping when I see one.”
“It took three weeks to fix because they kept finding more damage,” Jill said.
