Swiper, no swiping!
A fox in Berlin stole more than 100 shoes from city-dwellers before being caught red-pawed.

The canine outfoxed residents for weeks, taking one or two sandals, running shoes or slippers at a time from gardens and yards, the BBC reported. Initially, people thought a two-legged thief was stealing their shoes.
The fox prowled Berlin’s southwest Zehlendorf neighborhood, according to German media outlet DW. Since its stash was raided earlier this week, a few residents have been reunited with their missing footwear. The fox was stuck saying, “Oh man!”
This fox is actually a copycat, as a fox in the southwest German town of Foehren first imitated Swiper from Dora way back in 2009.
