Idea for vandals shoes

[walkthedog]

It would seem that even the most denying parent would recognize those shoes. Perhaps, the parent of this little angel is not online and has not seen the shoes with the red laces. Everybody in RM gets a CSD bill right? Why not include a photo of those shoes with a brief accounting of where those shoes have been, stuffed in every CSD bill? Maybe then someone might recognize where their angel has been.

Thats a great idea......

But let me tell you this...I spent 10 yrs. with the community club here in RM and when we had a function and some folks missed it, and we always publicized it heavily, here are some of the reasons they gave us.....

Don't read the CSD flyer that comes in the bill
Don't read the reader board at the corner of Lago and the Parkway
Don't watch channel 5
Don't read the RTV
Don't read RM.com......

But if CSD would agree to put that message with a picture of the shoes in there, that would be fine. Remember though, there has been no evidence shown to prove that those shoes were involved in the paint spree. There was no paint on them and I'm sure there would have been if the suspect had worn them during the melee......just a thought

Is that right? I had assumed (I know...) from the photo and the big deal being made about them that they had paint on them. Given the mess at the car and the way the paint apparently was splattered through holes in the can lid, it would be pretty significant if there is truly NO paint on those shoes.... especially if the "tread pattern" at the scene is footprints in the paint, which is not clear from the reportage to date. That a pair of Vans leaves a "similar" footprint to that found at the scene becomes less ominous when one considers how popular that brand is/was (are they still "in?").

I was at the scene and there was a considerable amount of paint on the driveway....certainly if someone was wearing the shoes during the incident, there would have been paint on them...now that's not to say that the suspect took them off before doing the deed, but they would know that their socks would absorb the paint and that would have been even a worse mess....ya think

Color flyers posted at the plaza with a reward offered for info would get the Jr grapevine moving. If the shoes were thought to belong to the vandal. I'll donate to the reward.
