National Park visitors urged to keep an eye on their footwear after furry thief pinched over 30 pairs of shoes in just three weeks"},"content":{"rendered":"

Visitors to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming have been urged to keep their wits about them after a slew of shoe heists in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

National Park Service rangers say that at least 32 pairs have been stolen from campers in the area, and are pointing the blame at a furry bandit in ‘Wanted’ posters that have been hung around the park.<\/p>\n

‘Wanted for grand theft footwear,’ reads one poster, which describes a shoe-stealing fox who goes by the aliases: ‘Sneaker Snatcher’, ‘Midnight Mismatcher’, and ‘Swiper the Fox’.<\/p>\n

The posters appeared three weeks ago after the fox stole 19 pairs of shoes in a matter of weeks. They were designed to stop visitors leaving their footwear outside, but don’t seem to have done the trick, as a further 32 pairs have been stolen since.<\/p>\n
