Someone has Stolen my Son's Shoe.
Discussion
Some f
ker has stolen one of my son's shoes.
Took him with me to the supermarket; got him dressed and put on a pair of shoes he hadn't yet worn, the pair his aunt sent from Oz, he looked great in them. The shopping mission was to pick up a couple of things as we were going to see said aunt. She was gonna love seeing him in the shoes she'd bought for him.
I sat him in the trolley (he's 17 months-old) and off we went snaking around all the aisles. We were having a great time oblivious to the fact that somewhere along the way, he'd kicked off his shoe. It was a member of staff that pointed it out. No drama, I'll just re-trace our footsteps and pick up the dropped shoe.
Shoe? Where is the shoe?
I did five fking circuits of the store - clockwise, anticlockwise, crouched over looking under the shelves and stooping over looking in the fridges and fruit & fking veg crates.
No shoe.
"Has anyone handed in a shoe like this one?" I asked the girl behind the jump at Customer Services. She checked, but no joy and reassured me that she would keep it to one side if it is handed in. I asked if she could announce it over the Tannoy - my thinking was that it might prompt someone to come forward, or trigger someone's memory where they saw it kicking around.
"Sorry, I can't do that" she said. Apparently it's company policy not to make such announcements. WTF? I did ask her to give me the reason or even an explanation why this rule would exist when I'm trying to prevent some fker walk out of the store with my child's shoe!
"Sorry, it's company policy". FFS, I wasn't asking her to broadcast a BOGOF deal for my son's OTHER shoe... I just want to make sure we tell the bd who has the shoe that we're STILL HERE!
So I do another round to convince myself that the shoe IS NO LONGER in the store. Someing cock sucking balloon head has picked it up and thought it would look good hanging from their rear view mirror, or sat on their desk as a phone cosy... 'Calm down, calm down...' I said to myself, 'it's a shoe and it will turn up when they clean the store'.
Left all my contact details and explained that these shoes are a one-off (they can't be bought here) and in any case had more of a sentimental value than anything else. The in-store cleaners come in at night and find all kinds of things, so the chances were - I hoped - that it would turn up then.
Like fk did it.
This leads me to the conclusion that it definitely is now in the possession of some disease-ridden, rhinoceros-faced, piss-stinking scabies-ridden excuse of a human being (this is more of a curse than a description).
It may just be a shoe to many people, but given the principle of the matter (added to the sentimental value) I can't believe someone would pocket a (trendy) child's shoe like this. I went through that store like a forensic detective... really pissed off at not noticing that he'd dropped the shoe earlier.
