– Hello! Yesterday, our most expensive shoes worth HUF 4,5 million (EUR 11,936.48) were stolen. EUR 800 (HUF 300,000) for the tracing fee – reads the post.

The video shared shows that the precious piece was stolen from a display case, which was left open because someone had tried on a shoe there.

Police were called to the scene the same day and fingerprints and DNA samples were taken, so they are hoping for the best.
