Or he bought them at an auction as part of a huge lot. Truth be told, he really wanted the waffle iron but he had to haul the entire lot away as part of the agreement. Well, once he got home, he started organizing the pieces of memories of the family that once owned the items. Sadly the family was evacuated from their home after the bank foreclosed on the house; the shoes were new, as the mother was expecting, and were mistakenly placed amongst the other items.
Well, it didn't take long for them to bounce back after the loss of their house, and just in time: the mother gave birth the day after they closed on their new house, and the father bought back the shoes from the ad.
