A fox is stealing dozens of shoes in a Leeds suburb and dumping them outside a woman’s house.
The problem has become so bad that Elaine Hewitt has been forced to put a shoe rack outside her home in Horsforth so neighbours can reclaim their missing footwear.
Ms Hewitt said the vulpine crimewave began a few months ago when she found a single shoe in her back garden.
The fox is now leaving a shoe a day, ranging from sandals to work boots.
Ms Hewitt, who has seen the fox carrying shoes, said the animal favoured leather footwear and the shoes are not chewed or damaged.
