…in Foehren,Germany. .
A vixen stole them the front doors for her cubs to play with. 
Damn pre-vert fox.
I’ve heard of fox stoles, but this is ridiculous.
I totally thought this was going to be like, Rupert Murdoch being evil.
I wish we had pics of cute fox babies playing with shoes, though.
I would think the kits would have chewed them up.
This is kinda funny, I saw on a tv show over here in Korea there was a small village out in the country and a wild dog was stealing all the shoes. The shoes were strewn all over the hill behind the village.
Are they kits or pups?
I’ve always heard kits. Wiki ways they may be called kits, cubs or pups.
Apart from the slim possibility that a shoeshine person travels round Foehren by night, is there any reason why the citizens of that fair town would leave their shoes outside their front doors?
I’m guessing it’s so they don’t track mud into the house.
Aaaawwwww.
To make up for no foxies playing with shoes:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy Hush Puppies.
I actually saw the thread title and thought:
“Oh brother, yet another crazy Glenn Beck stunt?”
Hah, that was more or less my first thought too. But color me also disappointed at the lack of photographs of adorable baby foxes playing with stolen shoes.
Awwww. 
Years ago wnen we lived in upstate New York, my wife left her shoes out on the back patio. One by one, they disapeared. We looked all over without success. Then one day a neighbor was looking for his dog in the woods behind our hosue and came across a huge pile of shoes, half of which were buried.
Apparantly his dog had been stealing them from all over the neighborhood and burried them out in the woods. The guy allerted all the neighbors and they and my wife went there and reclaimed most of the shoes that had been stolen. Oddly, the dog had not chewed them up, just had a shoe fetish, I guess. Not as cute a story as the foxes, but still very funny for us.
I’ll buy that.
The reason it didn’t occur to me is because I’ve lived in some areas where shoes left outside at night would definitely be stolen, and it wouldn’t be a fox doing the stealing. Even though my current location is more secure in this regard, I’ve carried on with the quaint custom of leaving my shoes in a closet overnight.
You should be shot, or at the very least severely fined for posting that image. Do you want to send me into diabetic shock ;)?
I. want. a. FENNEC.
For an opposing viewpoint, let’s hear from the BBC
I had a question I was going to ask rhetorically of the citizens of Foehren, but I can ask you instead.
Chewed up or not, do you actually wear shoes again after they’ve been stolen by an animal and buried?
