A Berlin fox clearly knows what he likes: He has an eye toward practical footwear and isn’t afraid of a little color
Let this fox keep his Crocs. Photo: Getty Images, Crocs For weeks, a growing number of residents in an affluent Berlin suburb found themselves facing a similar conundrum: Overnight, shoes they had left outdoors seemed to have vanished into thin air. Locals were bewildered; Crocs continued to disappear. And then there was a major breakthrough. In late July, a resident spotted a scraggly fox with two blue flip-fops hanging from his maw and proceeded to trail him.
The ensuing media coverage was ruthless. The fox was labeled a “culprit” and a “thief” who was ultimately caught “red-pawed.” According to one local outlet, some residents raided the fox’s collection, reclaiming shoes they were still convinced belong to them. But this fox is no criminal.
Perhaps under different circumstances, I might be more sympathetic to the locals — if, for example, the missing shoes were luxury items. But upon a thorough inspection of the fox’s collection, I see no monograms or red soles; no one shelled out too pretty a penny for these sandals. Instead, what strikes me about the shoes is the remarkable consistency of his curation. This fox clearly knows what he likes: He has an eye toward practical footwear and isn’t afraid of a little color.
And this is how we respond to his collection — not with admiration but disrespect? When historians reflect on this moment, they’ll recognize that it was humans who were the real criminals here.
