There was a funny crime at a shoe store in Huancayo, central Peru (秘鲁). One day at around 03:30 am, three men came into the store. They took away three boxes. There were 220 sports shoes in these boxes. But they were all for the right foot.

The owner (主人) of the store lost a lot of money because of the shoes. Why? Because just like the three men, he can’t sell the rest sports shoes.
