Police confiscate $3 million worth of shoes in Kentucky.

Riddle me this: How does a $3 million shipment of Nike shoes vanish into thin air in 2009 and resurface on a front lawn in Kentucky in 2014 going for $5 a pair? A woman in Radcliff, KY, and her daughter told local media outlets that they had bought them off another woman and had no idea they were stolen. They planned to sell them at a flea market. The Radcliffe Police Department have since confiscated thousands of Nike shoes that were scattered in front of their home.

The Radcliffe Police Department have since confiscated thousands of Nike shoes that were scattered in front of their home. According to a search warrant filed last week, the shoes were supposed to be shipped five years ago from a Nike distribution center in Tennessee to another one in Texas, but never made it. No arrests have been made.
