My aunt is a schoolteacher who lives in the NE US.
Once, she had purchased candy corn along with other groceries, to take to class, but absentmindedly forgot to bring the plastic bag with the sealed bag of it inside.
When she went out to the car the next day, there was no such bag to be found, leaving her rather confused as to how she could have left it somewhere.
A few days later, when driving, she heard _something_ rolling around in the outside of the car, and after a few rounds of looking and seeing nothing visible, a few kernels of candy corn rolled along the floor where she could see.
She took the car in, they went looking around, and went "...we can definitely tell there was _something_ living in there, but whatever it is, it's gone now. We've removed the candy corn we found." (It was not a whole bag, just a few dozen kernels. No sign of the bag that bag was in either.)
Was something living in the car unnoticed before and smelled the bag, and extracted it to its home under the hood? (I've certainly observed areas with nothing but "sealed" bags of candy corn carrying the distinctive smell before.) Did something smell it from outside and find a way in?
We will never know, but it was quite an odd experience to just find candy corn rolling along the floor from nowhere.
Bonus recollection:
Somehow, my family member's car was cursed in some way, and on multiple occasions, with the car located at different homes each time, a nest of bees was discovered in the frame.
The first time, the car was parked near a house, and there were plenty of plants and naturally bees around, so that was unsurprising.
The second time, it was living at an apartment complex without much foliage around at all, or any bees noticed anywhere.
If it had been the same place, one might wonder if the first bees had returned, but it looks like that distance is usually very limited, and he had moved a good number of miles away.
A "not mine" recollection:
A certain car vendor had to have multiple recalls because it was found that spiders were invading the car, because the concentrations of gasoline vapor were high enough to attract certain spiders but not high enough to kill them, and they would sometimes weave webs that blocked key locations. (It was Mazda, if you want to look up more details.)
