sounds like an insurance job to me... could a mouse really have enough hair to carry fire say 10 yards and still set fire to a house?!
if you dipped it in petrol or thinners . Mousetraps are quick and cheap, serves him right for being so tight. I reckon the leaf fire caught the house and he didn't want to look stupid for lighting it too close to the house.
He was 81 FFS!
Just goes to show cruelty to animals is not dead... ermmm, is that politically correct?
