       "Ahhh this guy uses Dr. Scholls foot pads!"

In Bursa, a thief who saw an opportunity during the afternoon
prayers at a mosque, searched for a pair of shoes among those
left by the faithful that would fit his feet.  The incident occurred
at the Erenler mosque in Yıldırım district.

The (discriminating) thief smelled the shoes before deciding on
his choice, then donned them and fled.  The police, acting on
the complaint of the person whose shoes were stolen, are
pursing the culprit.
