Serial killers? Drugs? Money laundering? Just some of the wild theories a Vancouver Island couple have been sent by the general public after they made a rather strange, but cuddly discovery hidden in the walls of their home.

Pulling back pieces of drywall in the garage at their new home near Spectacle Lake, Connor Nijsse and Brianne Hinkkuri found instead of insulation, 115 stuffed animals crammed into the wall.

The bizarre moment was captured on video and shared on Nijsse香蕉视频直播檚 TikTok page, Connor香蕉视频直播檚 Custom Woodwork (c.c. woodwork), which quickly went viral, garnering over five million views.

That香蕉视频直播檚 when the theories started to roll in.

Suggestions the toys were packed full of drugs or money were also quickly dismissed by the couple.

The truth about the stuffed animal mystery? The couple have their own, rather less exciting theory: the bags of toys were quite simply, insulation.

According to Nijsse, the previous owners had lived at the property for 30 years. When building the garage in the early 2000s, the couple used the toys, no longer wanted by their three adult children, as a cost-saving method to insulate the walls, speculate the couple.

"Not quite as exciting as a serial killer,香蕉视频直播� says Nijsse. 香蕉视频直播淏ut that香蕉视频直播檚 what makes sense to us.香蕉视频直播�

As well as messages from wannabe online sleuths, the couple香蕉视频直播檚 video has also sparked fond memories world-wide.

香蕉视频直播淧eople are telling us they recognize stuffies from their childhood and that they香蕉视频直播檇 love to have them again,香蕉视频直播� said Nijsse.

In response to the outpouring of nostalgia, the retro toys, which Nijsse and Hinkkuri think could originate from the 香蕉视频直播�80s and 香蕉视频直播�90s, are now winging their way across the world to new homes.

A pink elephant is headed for Las Vegas, a brown bear to Indiana, a pair of yellow ducks to the U.K. and a plaid monkey with brilliant blue eyes is on its way to South Carolina.

Dealing with multiple requests a day, Nijsse says he has become a familiar face at his local branch of Canada Post, with staff also recognizing him from the TikTok video. His viral fame has also changed things, maybe not for the better, at work.

But not all of the stuffed animals will be leaving the couple's home. One 香蕉视频直播榖ig brown bear香蕉视频直播� that caught the eye of Nijsse will be staying put, while some unlucky cuddly critters are headed straight back to where they came from: the garage wall.
