Apparently it came back in the basement? A few minutes ago I hear cage rattling. I hadn't touched the trap, still set from 23 days ago. Note: chipmunks are OK with 3-wk old moldy apple.
I think we'll go for a little car ride and discretely release out of view.

As for prevention I'm unsure what to do. There's a noticeable gap at the bottom, where the basement's french doors meet. From the outside, it looks normal but inside you see like a 2" tall gap about 1/2" wide. I'm assuming this is the entry/exit path. I don't know where else something that size would get in, as the foundation is pretty secure and it's a finished basement.
All of the exterior house doors use special tabbed hinges with 4 offset screws (arrayed like a zig-zag, not lined up in an arc or whatever. ) Apparently this is a design special to a company named Therma Tru but I can't find anything on their parts page, nor is it apparent from looking at the door something's missing. http://www.thermatru.com/products/patio/...index.aspx
