LR... It's been said here in the past that we don't have to give up hope...
But... if you could do your best to protect it... put it in a fireproof, ornate box, lock it up, and place it on the highest possible shelf away from those who would do it harm and just let it sit there, nice and safe...
and then, you can always have your hope... and in the mean time, you can get on with doing what works...
