F’in thieves!!! Just ridiculous.
Everyone needs to get their conceal carry permit now more than ever. Lock and load. FJB.
Don’t need any permits, I carry everywhere
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Who steals used tennis shoes, let alone at gunpoint? Must be a DMV thing.
You been living under a rock? This has been happening since the late 80s and into the 90s. People been stealing Js for a long time.
wow. just wow. over tennis shoes? this is the most ridic thing I have ever heard. this is scary and sad that we cannot just simply go on a nightly stroll in our neighborhood anymore! get a job! leave us normal folk alone. go back to your hole.
tennis shoes: $40
crime: priceless
Chances are these ‘tennis shoes’ cost 10x or more what you think. I wouldn’t be caught dead in them but it’s common to spend as much or more than you would on an iPad on sneakers these days. I have trouble understanding the financial priorities of somebody who lives in an apartment and pulls up in their BMW rockin shoes like these. They want a status symbol but I’m not sure they understand the the status they are conveying or how people who actually have money see them.
Try that in a small town.
the rest of the story. DiD this guy have socks on. Walked home in socks.
