DOWN UNDER — When it's hot outside and you just need to run into a store quickly it's very tempting to leave your car running with the air conditioning on.

Cars heat up so quickly, and it's pretty miserable to jump back into a hot car. But when you leave your car running, you accept some risks and those risks only escalate when you leave your door open or unlocked.

Some of those risks include your car getting stolen, your possessions getting stolen or getting a ticket for idling, but one thing most of us don't need to worry about is a koala jumping in our vehicle.

This guy learned that is a very real risk when you're in Australia and leave your car open and running.

When the poster of this video came back to his unattended vehicle he found a koala hanging out in the back seat enjoying the air conditioning. The man's dog was very curious about the intruder and at first, the man thought it was kind of cute and funny to have the koala as a passenger. Then the man needed to get going and started to realize the koala had no intentions of leaving the nice, cool car.

The man tries to open the doors to let it out, but all that did was make the koala want to move to the front seat and get closer to the air conditioning. Then when the man finally starts trying to get the animal out of the car, the koala gets on the dash and sinks its claws in hoping to stake its claim. Finally, the man gets the animal off the dash and out of the car, but not before the comfy koala manages to leave some claw marks in the dash.

The lesson here is: Even when it's hot it's not a good idea to leave your car running and unlocked. Just deal with the heat and avoid the koala.
