Australian man busted for stealing 53 individual right shoes: reports
He doesn't know right from wrong.
A man was busted for stealing 53 right shoes from an Australian mall, according to reports.
The half-baked heist was captured on Kenmore Village Shopping Centre security footage which showed the penny-loafer pinching perp pilfering Shoes Fashion for the remarkable amount of right shoes, according to local 7 News.
Mall security camera footage caught the heel loading the half-baked haul onto a trolly.

Store owner Tamara Shorrock said the July 7 theft was a real kick in the pants — losing $7,000 because she is unable to sell unpaired left shoes, according to the report.
One week after the bizarre boot looting went viral 51 of the missing shoes were mysteriously returned to the store, Shorrock said.
Gold Coast gumshoes tracked down an unidentified 49-year-old man from Mount Gravatt East who was arrested without incident on Wednesday, according to the report.
One week after the July 7 theft, 51 of the shoes were anonymously returned to the store, according to the report.

The footpad confessed to cops that he had no idea he stole solely right shoes, according to the report.
He faces charges associated with trespassing and theft.
