A weasel was caught on camera stealing shoes from a kindergarten in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. The incident had initially led police to suspect a human thief, but the security footage revealed the furry culprit. The weasel, known for stashing items, took 22 white canvas shoes from the cubbyholes near the entrance.
Screengrab from a video shows a weasel stealing a student's shoe at a kindergarten in the city of Koga in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan . TOKYO: Police thought a shoe thief was on the loose at a kindergarten in southwestern Japan , until a security camera caught the furry culprit in action.
“It’s great it turned out not to be a human being,” Deputy Police Chief Hiroaki Inada told The Associated Press Sunday . Teachers and parents had feared it could be a disturbed person with a shoe fetish. Weasels are known to stash items and people who keep weasels as pets give them toys so they can hide them.
The shoe-loving weasel only took the white indoor shoes made of canvas, likely because they’re light to carry.
