Boots misdelivered in odd cellar mix up
Wm Muschenich learned of a mishap when a purchaser took a pair of knit boots with a wood box in a store sale. The buyer, a stranger, carried the boots down from the second floor and out with a box under his arm. The light boots likely caused him to mistake the box for payment, and Muschenich believes no theft occurred and expects return once the error is found.
