Stephen Mckears, 72, intentionally made a mess every night to prove his sanity and set up a camera to discover who was behind the meticulous clean-ups
A PENSIONER’S shed gets its regular nightly clean-up — from a mouse.
Stephen Mckears, 72, found scattered items such as nuts and bolts were repeatedly moved into a tub.

Each night Stephen went back to the shed to spread the objects in a bid to prove his sanity. By the following morning the mess had been cleaned up.
The retired electrician realised objects were moving in his shed a month ago and decided to ask his neighbour to help him solve the mystery.
For weeks Stephen closely followed the moves of the suspicious intruder, who had been neatly collecting large screws, plastic leads, nuts and bolts.
He and pal Rodney Holbrook, 70, set up a camera to identify the culprit in Severn Beach, Gloucs.
Stephen said: "I've been calling him Brexit Mouse because he's been stockpiling for Brexit.
"The heaviest thing was the plastic attachment at the end of a hose pipe - and the chain of an electric drill.
"I didn't know what it was at first. The kids were saying it was a ghost.
"One day I emptied the tub out and spread the contents on the side - and the next day they were all back in again. I thought I was going mad."

The pair were left baffled when the footage from the hidden camera showed the mouse even attempting to move items twice his size.
Rodney, who is an avid wildlife photographer, was amazed to see the DIY mouse.
Stephen said: “It is an amazing mouse. It’s still doing it now.”
