BP found in car in uk

i didnt know where to post this, but i just remembered an article i found in a paper a while back.
a man was driving his car to work one day and noticed a smell coming up from the vent things.he took the car to the garage and mechanics found a 3 foot male bp dead behind the dashboard.it went in there for warmth or something,but the guy was shocked as he didnt even own a snake.it was sad,it was a nice looking snake.

Aww, poor snake. :( I wonder what he was doing outside?

im thinkin it was a pet and somebody didnt want it anymore or else it just escaped.either way its sad,,,its a pitty he didnt notice the snake there before it died.it was a normal bp but the markings were gorgeous. :(
