I set up a mouse trap in the garage and have caught several mice

After several peaceful months, I found the trap tripped again and the peanut
butter all gone, but there is no mouse to be found anywhere. How is this
possible?

This is the trap I use:http://www.pestcontrol-products.com/...ictor_trap.jpg

The trap could have tripped after you set it due to vibration or a
bump. Then, the mice cleaned it out. Just try again.

False trips are a part of having a hair trigger.

I had a rat problem in a warehouse I one rented and I fiddled with the
big rat traps until the things had a hair trigger. I would often catch
mice with them. Because of the size of the trap, the bar would whack
the mouse on its hindquarters, the lifeless mouse would be found with
a crushed backside and the oddest open mouth expression on its upturned
little face. I can imagine that there was one loud ultrasonic squeak.
