Foxy Momma Feeds Forest Footwear Fetish

A mother fox in the German town of Foehren has been unmasked as the mystery thief of more than 100 shoes.

A forest worker stumbled upon shoes strewn near the fox's den and found a trove of footwear down the hole which had recently been stolen during the night from outside local residents' front doors. "There was everything from ladies' shoes to trainers," said local police. "We've found between 110 and 120 so far. It seems a vixen stole them for her cubs to play with."

Although many were missing laces, the shoes were in good condition and owners were delighted to reclaim them. Police add that no reprisals are planned against the culprit.
