Sorry to hear about your records loss, it sucks when you're diligent and other forces intervene. OTOH, at least it wasn't like a fire, flood or some other disaster that left lots of other damage in its wake. Better to have the vehicles and not the records than the other way around, I suppose.
Good luck with it all.

The house we lived in when I lived with my parents was always under attack by the little bastards. They chewed a hole through the gable end of the house, where the electric main line came it...I add aluminum mesh. The chewed through the aluminum mesh, I added steel mesh. They chewed around the steel mesh, and we ended up replacing all of the wood siding. The following year, they started back into it.
The little bastards were jumping from the neighbor's tree onto our roof...a storm took out that tree, then they started jumping from the tree in the other neighbor's yard onto the roof.
I spent many hours in the attic with a flashlight and a pellet pistol, killing as many as I could find.
My younger brother owns the house now, and is fighting the same battle...25 years after I did.
When we lived on the farm, we threw a couple of black snakes in the rafters and didn't have a problem...maybe that would help, since it's a converted barn.
