possible rat/mouse issue, freaking out rn

Hey everyone, I live in Amsterdam and something really weird happened tonight.

I was chilling in my living room then I suddenly heard a huge noise from the kitchen. It sounded almost like a metal tray had fallen from the counter onto the floor. I went to check but nothing had dropped. The sound seemed to be coming from a lower kitchen cabinet/closet where my boiler is also located.

The noise continued for around 10 minutes. It sounded like metal being hit repeatedly, with some scratching/rustling too. I opened the cabinet while the noise was still happening, but I didn’t see any mouse/rat or anything moving.

The thing that freaked me out is that there was a chocolate bar in that cabinet. I’m pretty sure I had only eaten two pieces before but when I checked the package, it was completely empty. I’m not 100% sure if I’m remembering wrong but I don’t think I finished it.

There were also dry apple pieces and some M&M/biscuit chocolate bars next to it and those were untouched. I also didn’t find any kind of trace from the thing. I opened the closed while noises were still present and I didn’t see anything.

Earlier tonight I had also made pasta with pesto and accidentally left it on the counter in a closed pan(I almost never did this before), so there was definitely some food smell in the kitchen.

I’ve now removed all chocolates/food from the cabinet, emptied the trash, and moved the trash bin to the balcony. I’ll also call pest control tomorrow anyway just to be safe. My house is from 1940s in bos en lommer area.

Does this sound like it could be a mouse/rat, or could it be something boiler/pipe related? The sound was honestly way louder than I’d expect from a mouse, but the empty chocolate wrapper is making me paranoid.

Any advice on what to check tonight or tomorrow would be appreciated.

hold or sell bubble mew?

hi guys, I bought 5 bubble mews raw it in the beginning of this year around $480. the value has increased steadily since then, I plan to sell it and wait a bit then re invest. it seems like price crashed before from $680 to $485 then skyrocketed to its current $1k price.

I think it may happen again but ofc you never know...

should I ask waitress out? my ma liked her as well lol

I’m (M27) currently on holiday in Nice, France. I went to the same bar twice and the second time she actually remembered that I came there 3 days ago. She also told me about some big upcoming party on Sunday on the whole beach. She was smiling and overall super positive the whole time but yeah, I know it’s literally part of her job lmao. She’s probably around 23-24 I’d guess.

I’m doing this holiday with my mother and she was with me in the bar both times, so maybe the girl was being extra nice because of that, who knows? My ma liked her as well lmaoo.

If I do it, I’m planning to give her my number rather than asking for hers.

and the part below happened just today:

I was going to the beach this afternoon and on my way I just saw her sitting at a random cafe with her friend, kinda far away from where she works. She saw me as well, I had sun glasses so I was able check if she was looking at me and she was staring lool. I smiled and waved she did the same back, I walked past and went to the beach.

Investing in 151 set long term?

I honestly think this set has one of the best illustrations for SIRs (except zard's neck issue) I plan to invest it for the long term, like buy and forget about it for 3-5 years.

Seems like prices has risen and now it goes steady for a while. What do you guys think?

should I still invest in first partner illustration?

personally I really like these cards, I also know all the latest buzz around the Pikachu in the bulbasaur card. I think illustrations are great and these cards can go crazy in next 3-5 years. what do you guys think?

bought these 3 months ago, should I hold or sell?

I bought these gems just little before they skyrocketed in price. Now their price is stable and I'm considering selling it before a crash, any ideas?
