If it was sitting under an impermeable tarp or even a simple sheet of plastic, it will collect moisture and destroy anything under the tarp. This can happen even inside in a temperature controlled building, like a garage. Moisture comes up through concrete just like it was a dirt floor. It is better to use something like a bed sheet or towels if something must be covered. A car cover works very good too. I always say that if you want to destroy something, put it under a tarp.
