    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police arrested a woman who stole a pair of Crocs shoes when she returned to the store hours later to exchange them because they did not fit her son, a police spokesman said Friday.

    Oddly Enough

    "The store clerk identified her from security camera footage and called us," said Amos Shimoni, police spokesman in the northern town of Safed.

    "Instead of exchanging the shoes for another pair, she exchanged them for a criminal record."
