One more little critter story . . . . I drove my RX7 to work like always one day, and when I opened the door in the evening to go home, I found three baby (new born) mice on the driver's floor mat. One looked like it was already dead and the other two were moving around a little. I turned them loose into the wild and I'm sure they didn't survive. Never found Mom.

The way to avoid this is to have a little pussy in your car every once and awile.

What you have can be called Phase I. They will generally, but not always, return to the car again! My quess is they leave a scent and either the same guys or their buddies come back. But, it can get worse. When they can't get to their first motel, they seak a new one or build to suit. Leather seats, paper towels, etc. all make for comfortable material to build their next love seat. I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND setting traps in your garage and/or place the small green posion pelts into small containers around the floor. I've been storing sportscars for years and my current garage is fully insulated, natural gas heat, etc. and it's air tight but somehow they always manage to find a way in. . . since I don't occupy the area daily. Good luck.
