Went and worked out today. Took my favorite shoes.... sandals actually. They're quite nice.

Anyways, I was only there for 40 minutes tops. There was hardly anyone else there.... especially men. Afterwards, my shoes were missing from the shelves. Got the typical Korean attitude of 'I don't care' from the Korean staff.

They have a camera at the shoe shelf (it's inside the men's locker room), but of course they tell me it doesn't work. There could only have been one or two men even go into the change room while I was working out. It's quite a small gym, so they know all of their members well. But Koreans aren't Sherlock Holmes.

Anyways, I'm pissed because it's like the icing on the cake for me.

I would go back and check again a little later....

Chances are that someone used your "sandals" for use INSIDE the building and not necessarily took them home.

They saw sandals on the shelf and probably just assumed they were provided for inside use.... It has happened to me before....

Good advice I guess. We'll see. I've realized I'm very attached to those shoes! Sad




If anybody sees a Korean walking around in these, tackle him and make a citizens arrest! lol

Pretty gay looking sandals, IMHO. You should be relieved to have relieved of them.

When you wear them you magically get a lisp? that would explain how it might make you look gay, but not how they look gay...
