MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – In what can only be described as a masterclass in “How Not to Conceal Your Identity Completely,” a man managed to rob a local Vape & Smoke Shop while leaving behind just enough fashionable clues to potentially blow his own cover. Dressed almost as a Ninja, the man forgot to cover his blinding white tennis shoes.
The daring evening robbery took place at the Vape & Smoke Shop at the bustling intersection of East Northfield Boulevard and North Tennessee Boulevard. Our mysterious anti-hero was caught on camera—because of course he was—though he did make a valiant effort to dodge facial recognition technology by wearing head-to-toe black that included… His Hood? Check. Zipped-up collar to the lips? Check. Black gloves to avoid those pesky fingerprints? Double check.
But here’s the kicker: Our man of mystery may have been tripped-up by his choice in trousers. Video evidence suggests — his black pants stopped just short of his ankles, revealing black socks and pristine, bright-white sneakers. Fashion faux pas or a clue that might crack the case wide open? You decide. Nothing says “I’m blending in” quite like spotless white sneakers during a felony. Online sleuths, this is your moment — if you know anyone with a penchant for high-water pants and brand-new white kicks, Murfreesboro Police would love to chat. And SOON!…
