Ok, to update. No bait has ever been touched. There are glue traps set along g the walls. It's not bats, theres only one vent in the ceiling and it's not over the desk. Peanut butter has been mentioned it a few times, tried that too.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Most homeowners and maintenance men will buy these type of glue traps. Bad Deal ! The flat glue pads you can fold . Like glue on tagboard are your friend.

I use these: Catchmaster 60M Bulk Packed Mouse Insect & Snake Glue Boards 60-Pack and have good results. I put them in the inside corners of the buildings.

Can’t believe I have to ask this, but what’s your secret to catching a dang mouse? My wife has a mouse in her office at work and the dang thing will leave little presents on her desk at night. I made her a mouse live trap to leave set on weekends, the janitor set sticky traps and regulat traps. We’ve tried hamburger, cheese, peanut butter, jelly, Oreo cookies, coconut shavings, and even pieces of a snickers. This has been going on for a month and we can’t catch the dang thing. We now have a trail camera set on her desk to try and get video of the dang thing. This thing is turning personal....... LMAO! You need to find a trapper!  this is simple. Get a mouse trap. Not the kind with the plastic pan but the old kind with the little metal pan. Take a pair of needle nose and tweak the little notch on the pan to make it a hair trigger. Put peanut butter all around the trigger that you just tweaked and on the pan. That will get any mouse. They will be licking it up right where the dog meets the pan.
I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

Had a glue board that we forgot about for some time I got up one night half asleep and seen a dark object on the floor I went to move it out of the way and was bitten by a mouse held by one foot. Thought it was a dog toy man that little sucker could bite, the rest of the board was useless from sitting but it found a sweet spot to step on. Went for shots just to be sure.

Ok, to update. No bait has ever been touched. I'm going to stick with prankster or droppings from ceiling. Doesn't have to be a vent, droppings can slip past the tiles with a little vibration. Open the ceiling and look. If no mice there, it's a prankster coworker.
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

Mix a teaspoon of flour, sugar, and baking soda. Equal amounts, put it in a small tray on the floor. Won't take long.

Mouse trap and peanut butter set along edges. Never fails. The big yellow cheese looking pans are best IMO. They catch without bait set along an edge. I keep them right inside the garage doors on the shop all the time, mice come in and catch them before they go a foot inside. Sometimes its a month or two between mice but it gets them.

The janitor set then. I have not been in the building. I'm basically instructing my wife on what to do through pics.

This is the way to catch them!! Is this getting pinned to the archives?

Ok Nessy- house mice here are smaller and all dark grey - no white below. Deer mice here are like yours, white below, but grey on top. Then there are all the voles here ...lots of folks here call them all mice....even shrews. Thank you for the eastern education ! Well as P Skinny showed everyone here years ago- he was the mini trap mouse catcher - even using tiny longsprings !  You may well be dealing with a vole. A piece of raw potato instead of peanut butter is better bait.
