Or maybe mice, or squirrels.
In any case, you don’t want them in your car, chewing on the wiring.

Fortunately they only actually chewed through the control wires for the high beams. Still going to be expensive to fix (and of course acts of rodent aren’t covered by warranty).
Going to need to inspect the garage, though, in case that’s where they came from.

We spent a chunk of the afternoon cleaning out the garage. Apparently something got into our backup emergency food and water and was trying to make nests out of bits of old stuffed animals. And silica gel. And old unbuilt model kits.
Katie’s going to do a second round of bleaching on the floor while I go pick up the car. And tomorrow we tackle the upper storage compartment, just in case the reason we didn’t find any actual rodents is that they’re up there.
And then get the bikes and everything that wasn’t contaminated or can be disinfected back in before it rains this weekend.
