Knoxville, Tenn (The Weekly Vice) - Vincent Salters, a 46-year-old Tennessee man was arrested Wednesday after he robbed a shoe store only to discover later the shoe's he had stolen were all left shoes.
According to police, Salters was inside a Knoxville Shoe Show when he slipped into the store's stock-room and re-emerged with four or five shoes.
Investigators say a store employee locked the front door in an attempt to keep Salters from leaving with the shoes, but he pushed her aside and fled the store with the shoes.
The robbery was all for not, however, since the shoes Salters made off with were all left foot shoes. The right shoes that belonged to the pairs Salters stole were all out on display at the time of the theft.
Police caught up to Salters when he returned to the same store Wednesday and was recognized by an employee.
Salters was booked into jail on charges of theft under $500, simple assault and public intoxication.

LOL the mug shot still has that "DOH!" look.
The old peg-legged sea captain does all his shoplifting there.
Well he did have to go back for the other shoe didn't he?
"Shoes" is plural, no apostrophe needed; also, the phrase is "all for naught" not "all for not". Hate to be a stickler, please take it constructively because this is an awesome website.
I think someone should get a collection together to get him some shoes. I'll throw a couple of bucks.
Wasn't this also a Seinfeld episode?
This is why you should make sure to do it right the first time.
Hahaha… not only did he muff up the first go around, but this genius actually went back to the same store. If all criminals were this inept there would be a lot fewer on the street.
