The case of missing shoes came to the fore after Zehlenforf resident Christian Mayer posted about his shoe going missing on a local Facebook group. He was angry and disappointed as his pair was a new one.
However, Mayer soon found out he wasn’t the only victim of the footwear theft in the neighborhood.
After a tip-off from a person, Meyer managed to track it down and saw the animal with two flip-flops in its mouth. A few days from the sighting, Mayer followed the animal and reached a large green to discover the entire stash of stolen shoes.
