Dear LV Boot Bandit...
As I rolled into Las Vegas Monday morning, I headed straight to shopping! It was early, the stores where just getting open and we all know what the early bird gets, right?!?! Hopefully it's really great boots!!!!!! Yeah, got the boot fever these days...the ladies want them, my accounts want them, and I just can't get enough of them!! My first stop is Savers, the thrift department store. I head straight to the shoes...some great heels, ankle boots and them, this little gem...
Now please notice, there is only one boot in this photo. Well that's because there was only ONE BOOT! Yeah. This happens sometimes, they get missplaced, lost in the store OR someone hides the other to come back later to buy...perhaps waiting for a sale, etc. I was so annoyed. So, I hide the other one, I know it's childish but I did it and felt better on some level...whatever, silly, I know. On to the next Savers...Straight to the shoes...really good stuff and then it happened again, one lovely boot. ONE BOOT. again. Now I know this may seem like a silly thing to get worked up over but boots are serious bussiness these days. And good sizes in great condition are hard to come by...and both of these boots fit the bill but do me no good without there mate. I do the drill, search high and low, under things, over things, in things, ask the staff (knowing what they are going to tell me). I am convinced that I am following the path of the "Boot Bandit" and really hope the rest of my trip, regarding boots that is, goes much better.
This phenonamon happens often and all across the country, perhaps a secret society? And deffinetly related to the missing sock situation. Last year while in Reno, I fell victim to the Boot Bandit, when the most amazing boot, on all levels: Brand (Sibicca, similar to Famalore or Cherokee), platform, stiletto heel, round toe, slouchy, black suede and did I mention, my size, came up solo...I searched for at least an hour, had shop staff helping and even considered buying one boot. Here she is...*sigh*
The Update!!!! There is a bit of a happy ending...6 days later I went back to the fisrt Savers, curious, if maybe, just maybe the boot would show up. Well the one I hid had been moved but not too far and just when I thought I was asking for the impossible, there she was, hiding on the shoe shelf, pinned down by the biggest, ugliest chunky heeled, square toed mess of a boot...I think the heavens shined down at that moment...reunited and it feels so good!
I tried my luck and thought maybe the other would pop up at the next Savers but no go...it's all good, I was happy with the one pair!
