Police say a one-legged suspect was caught after only one shoe went missing in a store in Belgium. An amputee was an immediate suspect when a store attendant found one shoe missing from a shop in the western Belgian town of Maldegem.
Police spokesman Rik Decraemer said Monday authorities were alerted and quickly found the man who fit the description by shopkeepers. The shoe was also recovered.

When questioned, the alleged thief claimed the police kicked his a**.
“I feel like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest!” he said, tearfully.

I was sad, because I had no shoes.
Until I met a man that had no feet.
So, I took his shoes, cuz hey, he wan’t using them!” “

Profiling for sure!

An amputee was an immediate suspect when a store attendant found one shoe missing from a shop in the western Belgian town of Maldegem. Obviously, Maldegem has not gotten over the stigma of profiling criminal suspects.

The cop asked the hippie why he was walking with only one shoe: “Did you lose one?”
“Naw man, I found one.”

Did the doctor amputate his foot for a few thousand dollars like Obama said because he came to a capitalist America for treatment of diabetes?
