Criminals Becoming Brazen in Continued Theft Ring. Officials Stumped.

Two More Shoes Were Stolen Saturday.

Officials were shocked on Saturday to find not one but two shoes stolen from the closet and relocated on the floor of the hall. Closet owner, Debra, was stunned. "I was only gone for a little while, " Debra stated, "And it happened again. It's just wrong. Why won't they leave my shoes alone?"

Two shoes were left in a sculptural position (see file photo). One shoe was a black heeled sandal with white stitching, the other a grey knit Sketcher described by onlookers as an Ugg knockoff. Neither shoes appeared to have sustained any damage in the incident.

Witnesses were questioned by authorities, who recieved little information. Longtime resident, "Katie" was said to be uncooperative. Officials believe that Katie, who goes by the alias "Katie Katie, Pretty Lady," probably witnessed the crime but is concerned with retaliation.

A second witness a young teen known only as "Frankie," was forthcoming with information, but spoke mostly in an unfamiliar dialect known only as, "Roo Roo Roo." Body language experts reported that Frankie appeared uncommonly excited, but that, as Debra says, "Is how Frankie is ALL the time. It doesn't mean he feels guilty. He's very impulsive however, so I wouldn't put ANYTHING past that kid."

Officials state that they are narrowing their focus and now have a "Poodle Of Interest" identified.
The name of the individual was withheld, as the investigation is ongoing. Sources close to the victim have said that an area poodle known as Ava may be involved.
