Pour one out for the viral Chicago "rat hole."

Friday morning, the viral sensation, which looked to be the imprint of a rat (or squirrel, by some accounts), appeared to have been filled in by a concrete-like material.

NBC5 reported the rat-shaped sidewalk hole near near 1918 W. Roscoe St. was filled in with a “concrete-like material.”

It’s not clear who has a problem with the rat hole and doesn’t want us to have nice things, but Lakeview neighbor Johnathan Howell grabbed his license plate and went to work digging out the hole, NBC Sports’ Alex Shapiro reported. Other neighbors joined in, using other small tools to help.

By early afternoon, the hole looked mostly back to normal, though remnants remained of the filling, melted snow and slush

That's why I always keep an extra license plate in my trunk.
