Now look, folks, here is a neat idea.

1. Catch a live mouse somehow. (there are ways)

2. Get a new box of cereal at the grocery.

3. Very carefully open the box of cereal, so as not to damage the top noticeably, and insert the mouse inside the bag of cereal. You'll have to open the inner bag slightly to do this.

4. Very neatly reattach the top of the box, using paper glue or white glue.

5. Take the box back to the grocery and go to customer service. Say "There are noises coming from this box of cereal, so we thought we'd better bring it back."

6. Wait around and see what happens. With any luck they'll open it up and investigate.

The first person who does this and provides me with documented proof gets a free used vinyl record of "Sonny & Cher Live in Las Vegas".
