<p>There would seem to be a simple solution to that, don't leave anything that might appeal to foxes etc outside overnight.</p>
<p>Take them indoors, if boots are muddy, wash them in bath, then store them in cupboard under stairs or something similar</p>

<p>Foxes are incredibly curious and playful. They're particularly attracted to footware of any kind including boots, will tear them up as you say, then deposit their urine/poo on the item afterwards!</p>

<p>Hoping it is a squirrel (as we are part of the local squirrel superhighway network <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"></img> ) but normally they dig down for food stores that they've hidden previously, not dig up into a box from the bottom! Maybe the dry weather is making them do different things but I don't understand what they would be looking for. ...</p>

<p>... ah, just realised, that as we have installed a new box around that tree since last autumn ( when squirrels bury their food stores) and the old one had completely fallen apart so accessible from all angles for food burying, that said squirrel is prolly now back trying to deal with new box boxing in its stores. </p>
<p>No droppings found so prolly not a rat and we've never had one before strangely. No smell of a fox and walls are too high for them. Was kinda hoping it might be a hedgehog ... haven't seen one of them around Harringay for over 20 yrs!</p>
<p>So, going with squirrel <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/> Thank you all for your thoughts. Btw, if anyone has seen more recently or thinks they have had hedgehogs let us know!</p> I found a half eaten pie in a…tag:harringayonline.com,2018-07-05:844301:Comment:10947792018-07-05T11:48:17.301Zkotkashttps://harringayonline.com/profile/AsenTsvyatkov
<p>I found a half eaten pie in a veg box we had in our garden. My wife also lost a Birkenstock sandal - half eaten by a fox. The buggers are so cute and annoying.</p>

<p>I found an egg hidden down the corner of my front yard, under leaves and cobwebs and stuff. Absolutely did my head in. Foxes are mental.</p>
