Retired postman Rodney Holbrook must have rubbed his eyes a few times, because it certainly looked like a mouse was tidying up his workbench for him.
The Ratatouille-like scene had played on Holbrook’s mind for days after he noticed on several occasions that things in his garden shed were being mysteriously cleaned up overnight.
Setting up a camera to catch the cleaning culprit, Holbrook beheld that it was a little mouse.
The video shows the mouse picking up corks, clothespins, and other things and putting them in a small box, clearing the workspace of the man’s shed at his home in Builth Wells, Wales, for the next day.
“Ninety-nine times out of 100, the mouse will tidy up throughout the night,” Holbrook told the BBC. “It is incredible really that they put them all back in the box, I think it’s possible that they enjoy it.”

“I don’t bother to tidy up now, I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning,” he said, joking that the mouse might try to put his wife back in the box if he left her in the shed overnight.
As far as a motive, the only idea Holbrook has is that the objects are piled on top of a cache of nuts, and that without dirt or leaves, miscellaneous objects are the only options for the mouse.
