Offer Upgrade  User ID: 13455573  United States06/26/2012 05:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thieves steal one shoe at a time If the sneaker fits . . . steal it. Pricey shoes on display at stores around town may seem safe from theft — after all, who would want to steal just one shoe? But sneaky sneaker thieves have found a way to get around this: stealing left-foot shoes from a display at one store and stealing their right counterparts from another. “They know before they steal which stores are selling which styles and sizes, left and right. They calculate before they come in,” said Jennifer Lee, 52, owner of the Sneaker Box in The Bronx, one of many stores around the city hit by the crime spree. The thieves capitalize on a little-known industry fact: Some stores put only left shoes on display, while others display only rights. “They go to Foot Locker, which has all right-sided shoes. Then they come here because we display left-sided shoes,” said Salissou Mohamam, 40, manager of Michael K., a SoHo sneaker store. He says he loses about 50 display shoes a year to the thieves. “They take what matches, put it in their bags and go. It’s only the hot stuff they want to take,” Mohamam said.
