The rat stole my soap.
Yes, that’s right, I said the rat stole my soap.
So last night the rat was wreaking havoc in the kitchen. I went to the fridge and opened the door and the rat ran out from behind the fridge bee-lining it for the corner of the kitchen that has the bathroom on the other side.
After I got down from my stool and stopped shrilling with fear at this tiny deadly beast, I decided "that’s enough the rats have to go!" but how do I deal with this?.... so I just went to bed.
Then, just to rub it in my face, I wake up in the morning to find the new soap is still in place triumphant whilst everything else in the bathroom is in shambles!
There is a ledge along the top of the wall where the tile and wood come together, I keep toilet paper up there. But this morning I discovered something big enough to knock down all the toilet paper onto the bottles below scattering them everywhere around the room, apparently also uses this ledge.
Enough was enough and today I bought some rat poison at the store, came home and started setting it up around the house. I put it in the kitchen corners, behind the fridge and got up on a stool to put some on the ledge in the bathroom.
EUREKA! I found the missing soap.
Yup, in a hole in the wall at the end of that ledge there are piles of used soaps collected.
Here’s a diagram:
Now here’s what I want to know… or maybe I don’t want to know… the walls are tile, the ledge is tile, the soap sits on a lower ledge, there is nothing around it… How did the rat get from the wood ledge down the tile to the soap, pick up the soap and then take it back up the tile wall to the hole???

… I suspect that mystery will remain unsolved.
