Retired postman Rodney Holbrook found it weird that every morning he would find his workbench clean after leaving it messy so he planted cameras to find out who was behind this and what he discovered shocked him.
The black-and-white, night-vision footage revealed a tiny mouse behind the mysterious tidying up, helpfully moving objects left on the workbench into a box.
As reported by CNN, Footage from the camera captured the mouse carrying objects like screwdrivers, clothes pegs or pieces of cable in its mouth and clambering into boxes almost as tall as itself.
"At first I noticed that some food that I was putting out for the birds was ending up in some old shoes I was storing in the shed, so I set up a camera to see what was going on," Holbrook said.
Holbrook lives in Builth Wells, a small town in central Wales about 60 miles north of Cardiff's capital.
"I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the mouse was tidying up, he moved all sorts of things into the box, bits of plastic, nuts and bolts, it really was amazing to see the footage, some of the things that it tidies away are really unusual,” Holbrook said. “I don’t bother to tidy up now, as I know he will see to it".
Remarkably, this isn’t the first time that Holbrook has encountered a house-proud mouse. In an interview with BBC, he said that he had installed a night-vision camera for a friend in 2019, which revealed another mouse keeping his friend’s shed organized.
