Giving this a BIG bump!!!!!

I think most of us are, once again, dealing with garden pests....

I have a mystery.......Help me solve it.....

My basement entrance is 4 steps down from my patio.
There is a drain at the bottom of the a "floor" with a drain in the center of it where water can drain into the main drain under the house.
Something is pushing this drain off of the hole daily.....to come and go.

OK! Saw this years ago--so I thought I would put a half a brick on top of the drain to keep anything from using it....
Well--whoever it is--can lift up a half a brick and still get out....!!!! geez!!

It can't be Chipmunks--but it might be a rat????? WHAT would cruise the main, underground drain and then come out through this drain? Horors!!! WHAT else could push up all this weight?????

Today--I put a full-sized brick over it. Will see tomorrow if it has been moved.....

Any input welcome here......Gita.

Here's a picture of the drain--and how it was moved with the half brick on top of it....
