A few years ago, we discovered for the first time that we had a mouse visitor.
Knowing that a few family members were completely phobic about mice, I sent them the following e-mail:

Hey guys:
Well, we definitely have a mouse problem, as I've found evidence in the food pantry. In the interest of knowing what I'm up against and in finding a creative way to justify the "nightvision" capabilities of one of my camcorders, I decided to keep a camera running when we left the house for a couple of hours last night.
Well, it worked...maybe a little too well.
It wasn't a single mouse getting in there, but a whole family. Well, I assume it was a family as there were two that I assume to be adults and a much smaller one that I assume to be a baby. Unfortunately, with that perspective, I'm unsure that I have the heart to kill them; I might just try to capture them and release them a few miles away.
I grabbed a still frame from the video and am attaching it to this e-mail.
Even for those of you that hate mice, could you really kill a little family?
