Winter Haven, Fla. — A shrewd shoplifter honed in on Marty McFly and used hover shoes to make a clean getaway.
Winter Haven Police shared surveillance video of the crime on their Facebook page noting that the suspect is their "first futuristic thief!"
The video shows the man gliding into a Walmart store and loading his cart with a television and a bouquet of flowers.
He then zooms out without even looking at a register.

But his Hover Shoes, Voyagers, Moto Kicks, Space Shoes or whatever you want to call them makes him our first futuristic thief! Our Winter Haven McFly entered Walmart (355 Cypress Gardens Blvd) utilizing his fancy footwear and proceeds to travel all around with great ease hovering to and fro gathering items that included a television and a bouquet of flowers (wonder who the lucky girl is). Do you think he stopped to pay? Well, as you see in the video, he glides right out without even an attempt to utilize any register. (At some point, don't ya feel the need to squeal "WEEEEEEEEE"?) We poke fun, but stealing IS a crime and we want to get this guy and his shoes in custody. Somebody will recognize him. Call Detective Cobb at 863-401-2256.
