TINLEY PARK, Ill. (AP) - A certain black cat was lucky someone crossed her path. Mechanic Scott Bella, who works at an auto service shop in this south suburb of Chicago, thought he heard a cat's meow coming from a customer's van he was driving on Tuesday.

"I asked the woman if she had a cat in her van, and she looked at me like I was crazy," the Wilmington man told the Daily Southtown.

When Bella returned to the auto service shop, he lifted the van's hood to find a kitten sitting next to the radiator on the steamy day.

Bella said radiators can generate about 350 degrees of heat, but the kitten came out unscathed. So he named her "Lucky."

He said he plans to take the kitten home, where he hopes she'll get along with his four Rottweilers.

Bah, I found a live crab once. (and about 5 cooked crabs, rats, snakes, a cat, an armadillo, and last week a opossum)

I found a Water Moccasin perched on an undertray in a Range Rover, I was changing the oil and dropped the engine undertray and the snake hit the floor. I had to go home after that
