Well think again! Some lousy toerag stole my shoes from outside a temple. TG found it so funny - especially when I had to walk back to her car across the hot tarmac.

well considering people sell 2nd hand shoes at the markets, this isn't surprising

True.... my wife won't let me leave my smart shoes o/s the house overnight, because someone will take them to sell on....

Very sensible advice!

Too true-I went to the wat with my wife and Mother-in-law the other day, and was putting my sandals down before we went in, when my wife, spying my name-brandage, promptly told me to put them in my bag. I was, to say the least, mildly confused-sandal bandits wandering about the temples? I guess one must deal with jerks in all locales and all walks of life.

(Added bonus: My friend here had his sandals stolen and replaced with cheap used ones. At least they left him a pair.....)

I'm afraid that temples are prime targets for the shoe thieves. Lots of people milling about giving good cover. Everyone taking their shoes off to go in the buildings....

I know monks who have had their shoes stolen

On the other hand, at least the thief can tam bun and make up for his bad karma.....

Had a pair of flip-flops stolen from outside my very own residence in South Pattaya, I can't begin to tell you how long I had to scrimp and save for a new pair from Big C (19 ฿ )
