INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Get a whiff of this!

A 64-year-old man told Indian River County Sheriff’s Office investigators he took his 2007 Toyota Avalon on June 14 to get the engine replaced, a sheriff’s report states.

When he got it four days later, he said, the vehicle appeared to have “grease on the steering wheel, center console and all over the driver’s side with a terrible odor.”

On June 20, he said he took the vehicle to be detailed, but an attendant refused the work, saying the substance wasn’t grease.

Instead, it was something brown that turns smiles upside down.

The attendant reported it was feces, also known as excrement, dung, ordure and manure.

The vehicle owner may have been down in the dumps after this revelation.

He apparently tried to make the best of a crappy situation and spoke to the manager, “who said he has no idea how that could have happened and hung up on him,” the report states.

Evidently, deputies could have used the help of a stool pigeon while sleuthing the scatological situation.

The man told police he’s had some problems with a neighbor.

The report doesn't state whether the feces was canine, feline, bovine, equine or something else.

The report does state the case is active, suggesting investigators didn’t get pooped out.
