Escaped!

Early this morning as I started work, I heard the sound of a mouse rattling the bars on the non-lethal trap. I picked up the trap and saw the mouse inside. I don't like going outside in the dark to let the mice out of the trip, and I know there was little chance of the mouse starving in the next couple of hours, so I waited until after sunrise. I opened the trap and there was no mouse inside, but there clearly had been one based on the state of the crackers with which I bait the trap. The clever little mouse must have figured out a way to open the one-way doors that lead into the trip. I guess if I hear a mouse again in the trip, I'll have to go take it away even if it means taking a flashlight with me.
