Discussion Show theft in masjid

My Husband’s shoes were stolen from the local Masjid today at Friday prayer. I tried to console him that the person may have accidentally taken his shoes, but my Mom told me it’s commonplace in Pakistan to have shoes stolen during prayer. My Husband ended up walking home barefoot, in the rain and cold.

I’m wondering why the Masjid’s in Pakistan haven’t thought of a solution to the shoe theft problem if it’s commonplace there?

The one things I’ve always done is wait out in the masjid till everyone has left and take the last remaining chappal failing which call a friend/ home to get me a pair if feasible. Sure beats walking barefoot

Yes. If people have friends and family in the city, it sure does beat walking barefoot, right?
