bdmetronews Desk ॥ Leaving your shoes on in the house? Not a thing in our little slice of the world, but maybe the Americans and Europeans who do it aren’t as crazy as we think. It’s at least worth mulling after what appears to be a rash of shoe thievery taking place around our normally tranquil city-state.
The latest example of blatant shoe-nicking comes courtesy of Facebook user Nur Ashiqin Muhammad Kyaizam. In a video she posted on Sunday, two ladies can be seen casually trying on shoes taken from a shoe rack placed along the corridor of an HDB flat in Teck Whye.
“Happened on Saturday night, these 2 brave young ladies seems to be brazenly choosing which lucky shoes and flip flops they would like for their Cinderella journey to prison. Well take your time to choose. Help me spread the words ya,” Nur captioned the clip.
Towards the end of the clip, the women appear to make a run for it, presumably after hearing a sound coming from inside the house.
According to the CCTV clip’s time-stamp, the incident took place at about 9:54pm on Saturday. But they weren’t done yet. A second video shows one of the girls returning to the scene of the would-be crime at about 15 minutes later.
She can be seen looking around, possibly for witnesses, when she spots the surveillance camera. She immediately buries her face in her hands before walking out of frame — not incriminating at all.
The bizarre security footage unsurprisingly led to plenty of netizens making fun of the girls’ foiled, low-level heist.
