A crab in my garage?

I hear a scratching at my garage door. I though it was my traitor cat. She obviously is getting better food from someone in the neighborhood in is rarely around anymore. I crack the door open so as not to spook her and this is what I find:


Then it hid under my wifes car:


Then it made a run for the FJ:


And its still there, do you think it wants a ride?


Actually this is not so weird I am less than 1/2 mile from the water and we live on a sand hill. Its funny when they show up at the house though.

I honestly think it might scare someone half to death if you weren't expecting to see it.

Do you happen to have a Hammond B3?

If so, I'd keep it away.

Once you get crabs on your organ....it's hard to get rid of them.

Pretty sure it was this:

I think they are nicknamed Ghost Crabs.

My wife claims there's a crab in my garage - usually when he's working on that "damn 944" again. . .
