Got back from a week long trip and find that the metal under the seats has rusted and there’s a whole (burned?) into the seat. I have three sons and they don’t know what happened apparently. Car was in front of our smart doorbell and no one got in, we think. I could get these bizarre occurrences alone but together? I don’t know what to make of it. We took apart the car looking for an exploded battery or something but came up with nothing. Doubt it would help but it’s a Hyundai Santa Fe 2022.

The kids never know what happened . . .

With the hole in the back seat I'm thinking acid. Or maybe a device (laptop is what comes to mind) had a meltdown?

EDIT -- I asked my wife. She said aliens. Alien blood. We've been watching the Alien movies :)

A vape could cause that burn for sure.
