Shoe-shop thieves get off on the wrong foot

Shoe-shop thieves get off on the wrong foot
Criminals in Peru appear to have wrong-footed themselves during a robbery at a shoe store.
Three people broke into the shop in the central city of Huancayo and made off with more than 200 trainers - but they were all for the right foot.
The shop owner estimates that they have a value of more $13,000 (£10,000) - although the thieves may struggle to sell them on.

In the US most shoe stores display their wares outside the store (in malls) but only the left shoe.

I bet they feel like a bunch of heels ... perhaps the sole positive in this story.

I read somewhere that only right shoes are on display for the very reason of deterring theft. I thought that was common knowledge. I guess the thieves are getting dumber? Or on crack; who knows?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
