N.B: In case your wondering, this is a Ai image of the suspect (first time I've ever used this imaging technology) ...not managed to photograph the critter yet.
Anyway, I usually have a packet of Polo's on the computer desk in the dinning room and they've been disappearing. I thought I was going mad. You see, my wife doesn't eat them, nor Charlie, the mad mutt. Last night I heard what sounded like scrapping behind the book case. I banged the side of it, out shot a mouse!
Evidence found at crime scene
Using my phone torch, I could see little pieces of green and white paper, plus some foil. This morning my wife pulled out the book case and found this scene ...oh my god, he's had two packets!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think a mouse would eat Polo's and what we find remarkable, if you look at the computer monitor, below there is some Polos. He's got them off the desk, along the floor and under the bookcase.
According to Wikipedia,
A packet of Polo's is 35 g in weight, is 12 cm long and 2 cm's wide. Bearing in mind, I had eaten some of the Polo's, so the packet was probably 9 cm's in length and maybe weighting 28 grams. What I want to know, is this Mouse using steroids?House mice have an adult body length (nose to base of tail) of 7.5–10 centimetres (3–4 in) and a tail length of 5–10 cm (2–4 in). The weight is typically 11–30 g (3⁄8–1 oz).
Looking on the bright side
this mouse has the freshest breath in the district!
