My mouse trap

So I've had this noise in my wall for a day or two, scratching, and scratching. I go up in the attic and look around and I look down a drywall bay with no top plate (shame on the builder) and I can see a mouse stuck at the bottom and he can't climb out of the drywall. So I send down a rope for it (don't know its sex) to climb its been there 2-3 days, so I figure its hungry and weak, so I send down a couple of peanuts and a splash of water (nourishment) so it can make the climb up the 10 foot rope. My concern is getting it out of the drywall bay, not having it die there. Then, I set a couple of traps at the end of the rope. I'll see what I get in the morning. I just want it out of my wall. Am I the great white (humanitarian) hunter or what? I have the same problem with the Aston Martin DB4, the mice love the leather, wool carpet and cloth wapped wiring, so I have to set traps in it. "Build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door", or so they say. I'll let you know if its a mouse rescue (it got away) or a better mouse trap.
