Alleged 'shoe thief' has been caught by police
Mar, 13 2006 - 9:00 AM
BURNABY/CKNW(AM980) - Burnaby Mounties have caught a man they allege is a shoe thief who startled women a couple of weeks ago.
On February 24th a man armed with a box cutter knife tried to take the shoes of two women in the elevator of their apartment building.
They managed to fight him off and he ran off empty-handed.
Later that day, a man barged into a home and stole a woman's running shoe.
A composite sketch of the suspect jarred the memory of one officer who dealt with a man matching the description.
Twenty-three year old Edwin Man Lee of Richmond is now facing charges.
So, what're ya in for?
Rape.
Murder.
Embezzling company funds.
Stealing a sneaker.
One of these thing just doesn't belong here. One of these things just isn't the same ...
Well, let's just say they'd all move away from him on the Group W bench*.
* Shameless reference to Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant".
I think he ought to be an example of civil disobedience and therefore sent up for five to life.
When I first read this thread I got that brain itch that told me there was something I was forgetting...
Today it was in the paper that Jerome Brudos had died from liver cancer while serving out his life sentence. He started out stealing shoes. I doubt anyone teased him while he was in jail....
Something is afoot here...
But now that he's caught, he'll toe the line...
Fortunately, the police were able to hop on this matter right away.
I'm glad they were able to track him down.
Let's hope he sees the error of his ways, now that the shoe is on the other foot.

You're having a good time, aren't you? :wink:
Stop me before I pun again!
and he seemed so straight laced.
This caper sounds like quite a feat.
Okay, I'm going to punner's Hell for that one....
probably stuborn as a mule.
He'll soon be a-toe-ning for his crime.
The man ain't got no sole.
Stumble It!
