Interesting rainy day question...
I voted for "chuck it in the boot" but that is probably an oversimplification...I do try and take care of my gear...but, I am not overly precious with it. It was made to be used by me and my kids.
My Grandfather and Grandmother impressed upon my Mother a belief that you should acquire nice things and then put them away so that no harm could ever come to them. This led to my childhood in which we had a room in our house that was set aside for company that neither I nor my brothers were ever able to step into under severe penalty. I remember how my Mom would scrimp and save to buy nice things for this room...and also how she never was able to enjoy them for fear of "ruining" them.
Not me, I'm going to use my stuff and if it gets a little munged along the way I am okay with that as long as I am enjoying it...
