seriously? do we need to find the owners of these shoes? do they even want them back? are we spending money...on this?

The News Journal • January 25, 2010

Newark police today are trying to match up the 250 shoes recovered from a creek on Sunday with those reported stolen in the area since 2003.

A passerby spotted three large duffel bags stuffed with men’s shoes in Elk Creek near Elkton, Md., on Sunday morning and alerted police, who have been investigating a string of Newark-area burglaries in which the thief steals men’s shoes, photographs of their owners and, in at least one case, men’s underwear.

Investigators now are drying off the shoes, which were wet and muddy from the creek, and trying to figure out if they match the descriptions of any of the close to 200 pairs reported stolen in recent years, police spokesman Lt. Brian Henry said today.

The burglar appears to target University of Delaware students. In several cases, the thief broke into student apartments and fraternity houses while students were away on holiday breaks.

I love that movie!

And if there are any size 9 Louboutins in there, where do I go to claim some poor girl's my shoes?

I bet that something really strange is going to come of this
Not that it isn't strange all ready

OR

It's a homeless guy who keeps getting his shoes stolen... so he is stealing other guys shoes (who have plenty of shoes) so he always has shoes...

Some people choose to remain in the past with life, love and happiness; never really exploring the opportunity of a new day. To those I say: Build a bridge, Get over it, and Move on. A new life awaits you just around the bend....

do they need the owners to come forward to be able to have victims to build a case against whoever stole them?

Maybe they don't need to find owners to give them back but to say yes, that is my stolen shoes and I will testify in court against this person.

I don't necessarily think it's necessary to spend a bunch of money to catch a shoe thief. However, I do think it's necessary to spend the money to catch him and get him a psychological evaluation. He's not necessarily harmless.

If they need to testify maybe.Otherwise put the shoes in a big box and donate to a charity. The owners most likely have already replaced them.

Maybe if they find the owners, then the owners can be reimbursed by the thief?

In which case, much like ScentsyLorien, I am missing some Laboutins, but mine are 6.5
