What a thief !!!

A few days ago, my parents went to Taipei by train during the midnight. (They insisted they go by train during the midnight though I had worned them not to do so because of some unpredictable danger.) The train set out around 11 p.m.. After they got on the train and found their seat, they started to sleep. My mom, sitting beside the window, took off her La New shoes, ready to sleep. However, it's quite difficult for people to sleep sound during the train because of the light on the train, the noise and quake caused by the move of the train. Thus, they covered their faces with handkerchiefs. Gradually, they lost their concious and began sleeping.

Around 5 a.m. my father woke up and found that his shoes were not taken away but my mom's. He woke her up and searched for the pair of shoes around the whole train. Bending down several times looking for the shoes for several times, my father gave up but wondered how his wife could walk after they got off the train. Luckily, a woman on the train had another spare shoes (though a little bit worn out) and she gave that to my mom. Well, there are always good guys in the world and saving people when one encounters something bad. Many thanks to this woman who saved my mom's feet since mom needed to do something formal and important that day. Till now, my parents has come home but we're still wondering about the thief who stole my mom's shoes. How could he/she steal the shoes when the owner was in need of the shoes? How can he/she wear them when the size is different? Well, my parents showed their pity to the thief for having to steal the shoes to wear. They had forgiven the thief and hoped the shoes can be of great help for the thief. But for me, I still wonder how in this world people could do this. The safety no longer exists in Taiwan?
