Wednesday December 12 8:57 AM ET Woman Shares Car with Rat for Two Weeks OSLO (Reuters) - A terrified Norwegian woman shared her car with a rat for two weeks after failing to lure the animal into a trap. The 6-inch long rat, which sneaked out of a garbage bag and built a nest under the dashboard with discarded Norwegian crown bills and old receipts, was not tempted by a mouse-trap loaded with cheese, sausage or minced beef. ``I'm disgusted. Imagine, I drove with that big, ugly thing right underneath my legs,'' Solveig Kristiansen, a 35-year-old consultant from southeast Norway, told Reuters. The rat was finally killed when the woman laced the trap with liver pate. ``I'm laughing now that the beast is dead, but I was really scared when I found out it was a rat,'' she said. She said she was hoping her insurance would cover the $1,100 to $2,200 it will cost to repair the damage to cables and car seats inflicted by the rat.
