Gettin' Off On the Wrong Foot


Amputee suspected after one shoe goes missing

BRUSSELS, Belgium - Police say a one-legged suspect was caught after only one shoe went missing in a store in Belgium.

An amputee was an immediate suspect when a store attendant found one shoe missing from a shop in the western Belgian town of Maldegem. Police spokesman Rik Decraemer said Monday authorities were alerted and quickly found the man who fit the description by shopkeepers. The shoe was also recovered.

The suspect, a Russian asylum seeker, faces possible charges and was handed over to judicial authorities.

I'm sure when this guy went out to do some robbing he probably wasn't thinking about how this would backfire on him. Seriously man, why you stealing shoes? Why not steal a nice jacket or some booze? Stealing shoes is only going to draw attention to yourself. Especially when you only steal one. Its pretty obvious this guy is rocking a wheel chair. If he had a fake leg he would have stolen both shoes. I think a guy in a wheelchair buying new shoes is suspicious in the first place. That seems to be an area one could save a lot of money on. I mean those shoes are going to get much ware and tear. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell.
