Fox found with impressive shoe collection in BerlinBBC News Europe

Snips.....
A fox in a leafy suburb of Berlin has been getting into the spirit of summer - by collecting flip flops.
For weeks residents of Zehlendorf were baffled that a thief was stealing their flip flops and sports shoes from their gardens at night.
Finally a man spotted the culprit on a patch of wasteland, "in flagrante, carrying two blue flip flops in its mouth", the daily Tagesspiegel reports. The fox had a hoard of over 100 shoes, but not the man's missing running shoe.
The man had suspected it might be a fox after raising the matter on a neighbourhood watch website and getting complaints from other locals about a missing pair of shoes, or one missing shoe.

Seriously, why would a fox be so interested in shoes??

If I had crocs, that's where I would put them.

They're hideous but comfortable. If a fox takes them I'll buy more; nobody sees me these days anyhow.

and eat a few good meals. After all, foxes do not live by shoes alone.
