\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAn Olathe dealership says a sold pickup truck can\u2019t leave the lot because baby robins have already moved in.Workers at Olathe Ford Lincoln said a robin built a nest right on the tire of a shiny new F-250 sitting on the lot. Since then, baby birds have hatched, turning the truck into a federally protected no-touch zone.That means nobody can move the truck or disturb the nest until the tiny squatters decide it\u2019s time to fly the coop.Employees said random animal encounters have become almost normal at the dealership.\u201cWe found some cats in the cars before. One of our employees has adopted a cat we found in one of the trucks. And just today, someone came in to get their oil changed, and we lifted up the hood, and there was a mama possum with about seven baby possums. So we\u2019re all laughing because now we\u2019re just an animal rescue,\u201d worker Sammi Dodson said.The truck has already been sold, but for now, the customer\u2019s brand-new ride is still serving as a bird nursery.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
