A Hobart, Tasmania, resident gave a thief a good talking-to via a neighborhood sign after he was ripped off …of one boot. And a backpack. I think he was darn lucky to get the boot back, but then tries to negotiate for the return of the backpack, too. Although to be fair, he did offer some beer. A commenter from Tasmania said this was all a true story; that it was a pretty famous incident in Tasmania. See the image somewhat larger here. -via reddit
He's pushing his luck. The single shoe was 1. Worthless to the thief, and 2. Incriminating evidence, and apparently he saw a safe opportunity to return it rather than just ditch it in the trash.
