UDEV touchpad not enabling after removing mouse

Hi and thanks for reading,

I have created udev rules

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00cb", ENV{DISPLAY}=":0.0", ENV{XAUTHORITY}="/home/john/.Xauthority", ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00cb", ENV{DISPLAY}=":0.0", ENV{XAUTHORITY}="/home/john/.Xauthority", ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=0"

Now it works as expected when I plug in the mouse the touchpad disables. However when uplugging the mouse the touchpad does not enable again. I cannot for the life of me figure out why?
