Perhaps the barking deer got wind of their planned accidental death and ate your boots.
Divine justice! Yes! I love a conspiracy, especially when it involves animals that are too smart for their own good (and are potentially tasty). :-p

Did you wear them to visit anyone, and return home barefoot? Have any of your neighbors shown a real interest in your boots? Maybe one of them swiped them from your doorstep? Any roaming neighborhood dogs who might be digging holes to save them for later?

No Lisa, they were my bike boots, i have not worn them since.

I think it virtually impossible for an animal to get into my house and run of with my boots.

And no Moonb, i have not returned home bare-foot any time.

I think the MWI is a possibility, some sort of cross over.
