Mouse Burns Down House

The BBC reports on the strange but true story of a mouse that took revenge on a man for attempted musicide - by burning down his house.

Luciano Mares of Fort Sumner, New Mexico had found the mouse and wanted to get rid of it. So he picked it up, took it outside and threw it on a fire of burning leaves.

The mouse wasn't going meekly. Even though it was alight it ran back into the house - spreading the flames with it.

Mares wanted to be without a mouse. He is now without house.
