Obviously you have a group of some of the better organized mouse gangs hiding
in your basement.  From the description, the mice seem to be almost humanly
intelligent in getting away from the scene of the crime.  The way I figure it,
is that his buddies pulled him back into the hole and separated him from the
trap (using tiny, little wire cutters!)  After that, who knows?  They are 
probably using the spare pieces of trap to set a giantic HUMANTRAP!.  Whack!
Off with yer 'ead!!  I'd be reeaaalll careful about the dark coners in your
basement.
