Return of the shoe thief

Filed under:Uncategorized — posted by AC on February 7, 2005 @ 10:53 am

Mom wanted to go to the temple today - but I was in two minds about the whole thing. I mean - it’s one thing to have your shoes stolen, but to tempt fate again… Anyway, mom had a smart suggestion. She said that we’d go in turns. I finally caved in and agreed. So mom, sis and I trooped off to the temple.

Once there, sis and I kept our shoes on the rack and entered the temple. Mom took up a strategic position where she could watch both our shoes without hindrance. Thus relieved, I went about my prayers in peace. As I came out of the temple, my sis was busy smiling. Oh yeah - someone had come after my shoes again. Found out from mom that he’d come and calmly taken the shoes from the rack. He was about to put them on when mom confronted him. At that point he muttered something about taking the wrong pair of shoes and fled. My shoes are now (hopefully) safe for another week.

We then took over sentry positions and mom went into the temple. A few minutes later we saw three people milling around wearing the same expressions we had the previous week. So I went and asked them if their shoes had been stolen and they replied in the affirmative. Seems that our thief (thieves?) has very selective taste. In all cases only Nike shoes and floaters had been stolen. We’re planning a surprise for our “friend” next week. A group of us is planning to go and catch him in the act. Let’s see what happens :)

What else…Working on my project. Have a review on the 21st of Feb and Want to finish 4 more modules by then.

That’s all from me for now. Later dudes!
