More than 120 shoes have gone missing from homes and gardens in Germany after a fox developed a bizarre fetish.
The mystery was only solved when a forestry worker found a stash of the missing footwear in the fox's lair near Fohren.
Tiny tooth marks on the leather show the vixen - dubbed Imelda Marcos after the shoe-mad president's wife - may have used them as toys for her cubs to play with.
Local landowner Count Rudolf Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt said: "She's clearly got a thing about shoes.
"We found 86 shoes in the den and a further 32 in a nearby quarry where they like to play. That includes 12 or 13 matching pairs of shoes."
