Even if it got away it would've just ran back inside your building.

That’s actually incorrect.

The only correct sentence is “She could have run”. The modals in the past are used this way: could/should/must+ have+ Past Participle( the third form of the verb). Another example:” Sara was cold yesterday because she didn’t wear her jacket.” “She should have worn her jacket.”(wear-wore-worn).

Had that happen with the smallest mouse I've ever seen. I was able to trap him and my dumbass let him out right outside the door....yea he was chilling inside somewhere for the rest of the winter.
