Or Not...

So we got back yesterday from spending the Thanksgiving holiday with my side of the family in Seattle. No sign of the rat during that time, but when we got back I set the trap again. This morning the trap had been sprung, the peanut butter gone, but no rat in the trap. No signs of nesting under the hood but now I worry he just burrowed deeper (like in the dashboard somewhere?) where I just can't see what damage he might be doing. My stereo went haywire on the trip back when I ejected a cd. Hope that is not related but my guess is it probably is.
