　　On the 21st, the reporter learned from Pengbu Police Station of Jianggan Branch of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau that the police had arrested Qiu Mou, a suspect who stole other people’s brand-name shoes.

　　According to the police, Tian, the victim, is an independent entrepreneur. He usually likes to collect shoes. The shoe cabinet at the door of his house is filled with forty or fifty pairs of limited joint sports shoes, and the price of each pair of shoes is more than 1,000 yuan. But recently, Tian found that the shoes in the shoe cabinet were inexplicably less.

　　Tian said that once he was ready to wear a new pair of shoes, he found that the shoes had traces of being worn. Only after checking did he know that there were 8 pairs of shoes missing from his collection, worth 10,000 yuan, and some of them even became "out of print".

　　Late at night on June 16th, when the suspect went to steal shoes again, he was caught on the spot by Tian and called the police. The police then took the suspect back to the police station for further investigation.

　　According to the suspect Qiu Mou, he usually likes to browse a sports trend online community, and he was very moved when he saw Tian’s feet often wearing joint sports shoes in the community. Just as Tian put his shoes in the shoe cabinet outside the door, he "visited" the shoes every three to five nights to steal them.

　　"The first time I took three pairs, I saw that he didn’t find them, and then I stole three pairs, and then I stole two pairs … …” Zou said that he had sent several photos in the community wearing stolen shoes, and his account had increased by dozens of fans. Seeing the praise and envy of netizens, he felt very satisfied.

　　According to the police, Zou was afraid that stealing too much would reveal the stuffing, and he "returned" a pair of shoes when he started for the third time. On the evening of June 16th, when Qiu came to steal shoes for the fourth time, he planned to "return" a pair of shoes that he was tired of wearing and "exchange" several pairs. At this moment, the door of Tian’s house suddenly opened … …

　　The police found all the stolen sports shoes in Qiu’s residence, and several pairs of limited shoes were washed by him and put in transparent shoe boxes for "permanent collection".

　　At present, Zou has been criminally compulsory by the police for alleged theft. (End)
