He got even more of a shock, however, when he found out exactly what had been stolen.

Upon reviewing CCTV footage, he discovered that the thieves had spent a considerable amount of time painstakingly opening dozens of shoeboxes and taking out only the right-footed shoes while leaving the left-footed shoes alone.

Stills from the footage show the huge pile of boxes that had been left strewn across the floor - many belonging to expensive brands.

But why on Earth would the thieves have only taken one shoe from each box ?The CCTV cameras did at least pick up the culprits - a man in a red hoodie, a man in a dark-colored outfit and also possibly a woman wearing glasses and carrying a white bag.

In addition to 100 right-footed shoes, the thieves made off with clothing and a number of other items.

Efforts to track down and catch those responsible remain ongoing.
