Japanese customarily take their shoes off before entering homes. The vanished shoes were all slip-ons the children wore indoors, stored in cubbyholes near the door.
Weasels are known to stash items. The weasel scattered shoes around and took 15 of them before police were called. Six more were taken the next day. The weasel returned November 12 to steal one more shoe and got caught on camera. The children got a good laugh when they saw it.
