The 16-year-old was walking in an eastern Tokyo suburb on Thursday when she was wrestled to the ground by a man who ripped a sock off her left foot and fled with the goods.

Pull the other one, there's something smelly about this. I could poke holes in it but darn it, I don't have time to dangle about all day. Gotta hop to it.

Looks like an unexplored market for vending machine options.

I've actually stolen coworkers' used underwear (in the locker room/showers at work) but this is taking things to another level.

^^ Caliber26 you are the Sock Thief and I claim my reward!

Japanese police have issued an all points alert for Caliber26. A police inspector said: 'We're on our toes for this man, and we won't be caught flat-footed again. The PM is holding a candle to our feet on this.'
