A modern New York City love story took an unexpected turn.
According to Complex, this was after a woman claimed her Tinder date stole her pricey Maison Margiela Tabi Mary-Janes.
These tabi boots are valued at around $1000!
She recounted the event on TikTok, sharing the particulars of her date with the man.

The shocking story begins with a match on Tinder and a drink outing in SoHo.
The two spent the evening discussing their love of fashion.
During their intimate time, the man expressed his desire to own a pair of Tabi boots.
Before his departure, he borrowed her phone to search for a Spotify playlist.
Tinder Match Turned Mishap
Unfortunately, he could not find the playlist, and he left.
She later realized her precious Tabi boots were missing from her shoe rack.
She immediately suspected him.
To add to her suspicion, he had unmatched her on Tinder and deleted all communication logs.
She figured he must have deleted this information to cover his tracks.
The brief moment “searching for a playlist” was used to cover his tracks.
The woman figured the theft might have been his primary objective that evening.
The woman took to social media to narrate her experience.
Her TikTok video gained tremendous traction.
The online community rallied to assist in identifying the alleged “Tabi swiper.”
A surprising revelation came from a DM she received, stating that the man had recently gifted a pair of Tabis to his girlfriend.
She then confronted the alleged thief, who initially denied his involvement.
Eventually, with the evidence, he agreed to return the stolen shoes.
This digital saga concluded with a video of the man nonchalantly returning the pilfered footwear.
These shoes have a slim design, making them easy to carry.
The lady mused that he must have managed the heist by tucking the boots inside his cargo pockets or waistband.
Many may find humor and intrigue in this viral story.
It is also a testament to the power of social media.
However, it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of online dating.
Perhaps reconsidering one’s approach to dating apps like Tinder is worth reconsidering.
