Default Re: Barn find with occupant

Here's what I saw when I opened the trunk. Notice a couple of the mouse traps got dragged back there somehow. I thought there might be some dead rats back there....like if the mouse trap got them, but didn't kill them immediately, they would have died in the trunk. But it looks like the mouse traps were innefective on those big suckers!



Trunk is full of rat turds. I'm going to let it air out for a couple of days. The daily highs are supposed to be in the 90s and the forecast doesn't show any rain for the next few days. I don't look forward to cleaning the car.

Here's another look toward the rear of the trunk (or is it the front...towards the back seat). There's a little pile of cotton batting that looks like they were enjoying.



Those rats didn't tear things up like I thought they would. No wires are gnawed on. The wires even still have the paper tags from the factory. I saw some of these paper tags on the headlight loom under the hood too.
