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:

Don't know how long ago this thread was started but i saw a mouse in my flat about a week ago set a few traps caught a few already just got back home and i've found a set trap not unlike yourself triggered but was moved about 16inches.......Any1 smell a rat?

AIUI, even with the helmet, they are likely to suffer concussions.
The NCMM has banned trap robbing for mice under 2 years old.
