A school in Japan has solved the mystery of who…or what… was stealing the shoes of students.
The Gosho Kodomo-en kindergarten in Koga, Fukuoka Prefecture, contacted cops after 15 shoes vanished from the school earlier this month, and then three more were swiped the following day.
Security cameras were set up and the culprit was caught. A weasel was spotted coming from behind a wall and taking the footwear.
An animal expert thinks the critter is a mom and is using the shoes to line her nest.
The shoe cubby holes are now being covered with nets overnight.
