Bizarre video shows the moment a Canadian woman discovered a naked homeless man had been hiding in the trunk of her car for three days.
Bethany Coker, who documented the incident on TikTok, claims she had no clue the man had been living in the trunk of her Subaru Sedan as she went to work and conducted errands. She said e had never uttered a single word before she found him.
@bethanycoker This guy has been in my trunk since SATURDAY fully naked. It’s currently Tuesday. Guess I found out where the mud came from… #foryou #fyp #nakedman #subaru #icannot ♬ original sound - bethanycoker
'Why are you in my trunk and are you naked?' Coker, of Nanaimo, British Columbia, asked when she found the man.
He replied: 'Yeah, it's a rite of passage.'
She questioned how he got into the vehicle, to which he answered: 'I'm the son of the pope.'
The video then shows police surrounding her vehicle as the man's legs hang out of the trunk. He can he heard asking the cops if he can put his pants on, before an officer says they 'would appreciate that.'
Coker claimed the man was a missing person and is 'currently in a psych ward.'
'We've been to the grocery store together, we've got sushi together, gas together. We've been to work twice. Not a single word,' she explained.
Coker saw the first sign of the man's presence six days ago when she found the driver's seat of her vehicle covered in mud.
'My car was home all night while we were out wheeling til 2am and I started it up this morning not paying attention, only to come back to get in it, and notice the MUD,' she posted on TikTok.

The Red Seal diesel mechanic, as she steam cleans her upholstery, deduces that someone had broken into the car and slept in the vehicle overnight.
'The only logical explanation is that a muddy-(expletive) homeless man slept in my (expletive) car last night,' she told her followers.
Although he was reportedly in her trunk while she cleaned the seats, Coker did not discover the man until three days later.
The young woman claims she finally got suspicious that someone was in her vehicle when she noticed her car windows had fogged up.
When she got in the car she heard a voice say 'hey' and saw the man in her vehicle.
'At first I thought someone was playing a prank on me, and then when I realized what was happening, I just kept my phone recording because I wasn't too sure what was going to happen,' Coker told Global News.
'I didn't know who this guy was. I didn't know if he was dangerous. And he'd been in my trunk for three days and didn't say a single word.'
She said she had driven him all over town on her countless errands.
After finding the man, Coker called police, and said the dispatcher did not believe her at first.
'It was probably the most hysterical call I’ve ever been on,” she said.
'They’re like, "What do you mean he’s been in your trunk for three days?" And I’m like, "He’s been in my trunk for three days, please hurry up."'
In her TikTok video, one of the responding officers can be heard saying: 'I'll tell you, in my whole career, I've never come across anything like that.'
Police in the picturesque city located on Vancouver Island told Coker the man has 'significant health issues' and he is now receiving the help he needs.
