Someone stole my shoes!! I was looking at the Catalina boats and took my old, nasty, ratty looking Sebago boat shoes off and left them at the bottom of the stairs, just like every one else. When I returned, they were gone. There was another pair of the same shoes across the aisle from where I had left mine, but they were a size 9 and I wear a size 10 1/2 wide. Those size 9 shoes were there the rest of the day, so I assume that the person accidently took mine by mistake. The problem was, he could wear my larger shoes, but even though his were in better shape then mine, there was no way I could squeeze into the smaller shoes. I walked around in my socks for the next 2 hours looking at everyone's shoes, hoping to find mine. I even put a note inside the size 9 shoes asking that he call my cell phone if he realized his mistake and came back for his own shoes. I never did find them, so I ended up having to buy a new pair from one of the exhibitors. I was really mad when it happened, but I am laughing about it now!
Had a buddy have the same thing happen at the Annapolis show this year. It's why I try to park mine next to the wife's but there are so many stupid people out there it's no guarantee. How can you not recognize your own shoes? Duh!
