    They used to put one boot from a pair on display on a rack outside the door, but Bob kept nicking them

    Bob got away with it for ages. So how did he do it? Well, not like this as it's too conspicuous ...



    Bob pinched them two at a time so the local police were searching for a culprit with two right feet.

    Kind of obvious that though innit? Single boots'd be 50% off

    I've always been treated well in the (admittedly) short time that I've been back into biking by the chaps in the Preston shop, I'm a bit saddened by all this, in my mind it's another good business gone down the tubes
