A Cuban resident in Miami, who identifies on TikTok as @fuego.con.los.chi, had an unusual experience during her vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
In a video posted on his account, he humorously recounted how upon arriving at his room, he noticed that someone had opened his luggage at the airport and stole a pair of sneakers... but from the same foot.
"I want to give a message to the tiger who took a pair of sneakers from my suitcase at the airport. My brother, you left me with two right feet," he said between laughs.
He explained that the sneakers were very similar models, but not identical. The thief likely confused them in a hurry, thinking they made a pair.
The shoes were not for her, but rather to be gifted to some Cubans who are on vacation in Punta Cana and would take them back to the island.
"Hey, buddy, you left me stuck and now neither you nor I can figure this out," he joked in the video that has already garnered thousands of views.
Despite the incident, the Cuban remained in good spirits. She expressed gratitude to República Dominicana for the quality tourist services and assured that she felt very well received at the Punta Cana resorts where she usually stays frequently.
"I promise not to look you in the face. Tell me where you want me to leave the shoes so you can give them to the person you had in mind, and let her enjoy them," he concluded his message to "the tiger" with good humor.
The peculiar theft has sparked laughter and comments on social media, where many users are celebrating the positive way this Cuban handled the situation.
