Who stole my sock ?

In Japan, in Chiba, a suburb of Tokyo, a thief steals a schoolgirl’s sock... not two but just one sock!!!

How does he do it? He waits for the high school girls to get out of school and then he takes their sock. Already four cases have been recorded and on Friday, December 14, he repeated his sock attack with a 16-year-old schoolgirl. After throwing his victim to the ground, the thief took hold of her left ankle to remove her sock, before running away.

The good news: he does not hurt his victims – it’s all done with delicacy. The robber, a man of 30 or 40, is wanted by the police. But what is he looking for? Did he give pairs of socks to his family for Christmas?

We urge him to visit the House of Socks website, where he can choose the right size and colour from over 20 shades of socks.
