Several years ago camping in my 82 Westfalia, spotted a mouse who had entered scurrying in the front passenger footwell.  Thinking of being humane opened the door and invited it back outside.   As I watched it scurried back to the front tire up over the top and in a minute appeared again on the inside.  This time the little bugger was terminated with prejudice.
