[rebbonk]

International left-shoe thieves have been busted in Sweden, police say.

Authorities in the southern region of Skane told the Sydsvenskan newspaper they arrested two men in their 50s who allegedly stole seven single left shoes worth $1,400 from a Malmo, Sweden, shopping center on Saturday.

Malmo Police Detective Stig Moller told the newspaper single-shoe thievery isn't uncommon. He said thieves will steal left shoes in Sweden and then travel to Denmark to steal the right-foot counterparts.
