Someone was stealing cash from a shop, but thanks to a videocamera, authorities got their man - and it was a mouse. A security camera set up inside the shop in Villach in the southwestern Austrian province of Carinthia helped the owner figure out who was making off with 50 euro bank notes from the cash register. It turned out to be a mouse looking for nesting material, officials said Monday. The critter was caught on camera with its paw in the till, Austrian television reported.

The shop owner, whose name was not released, became suspicious after two 50 euro bills went missing.
