Little Canada (MN) sneaker store owner closes shop after 5 burglaries in half a year
KSTP.com ^ | 3/6/22 | Richard Reeve

The surveillance video shows three men, wearing masks, hoodies and gloves smashing a glass door, then walking in and ransacking Walter Dillon’s high-end sneaker store.

The thieves can be seen methodically stuffing footwear into plastic bags, then running out and driving away.

Dillon says it was over in just minutes.

“That’s the car they was in, right there,” Dillon exclaims, pointing to a video screen. “I imagine they broke a glass, they broke a window, gained entry that way and took shoes and whatnot.”

Dillon showed the video to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS during a visit to his now-closed KKG Kickz store in Little Canada.

He says he’s still shaken by the overnight burglary on Feb. 23.

“I don’t even believe what’s on the TV screen when I see it. It’s devastating,” Dillon said. “It’s so awful to see something that I worked for, worked really hard for, dreamed about, executed — to see it all blow away like that is heartbreaking.”

Days later, the front door is covered with plywood.

Sounds like a typical greedy Business Owner with too much White Privilege in him for not fully understanding the needs of the less fortunate that have to resort to this type of crime to feed themselves and put shoes on their feet.

YES I watched the Video!!!

The democrats are responsible for this. In 2020 they helped organize the riots and occupations. They helped implement them, and then gave them moral and material help. Afterwards, there was no prosecution.

The privileged underclass got the message that crime by certain segments of the population was all right.

Doesn’t believe it when he sees it. Gotta be a liberal.

Large scale theft is a likely scenario when selling sneakers to ghetto rats. Plan accordingly.

The store selling work boots...not so much.

Expensive sneakers are seen as a sign of "success" in "da-hood". If you have expensive stuff (sneakers, jewelry, cars) you are seen as "successful" even if you are in debt to acquire those items and you own no assets of any real value. All about the appearance of 'perceived' wealth.

“I was drained, I was mentally drained,” Dillon said. “This is the fifth time this has happened, within like a six-month span.”

I never bought into the whole “appearance of wealth” thing we do in the USA. I live in an area where you basically can’t tell by outward appearance who has money and who doesn’t.
