Many court documents are public once filed. So there needn't be any privileged information exchanged for Broomstick to know that the matter is before the courts.

Not particularly big, female, wears glasses, heading fast towards middle age... People underestimate my strength, intelligence, and determination on a fairly routine basis. Until they get to know me.

Huh. I always imagined you as the sort of woman who could break me in half like a twig if you were so inclined.

Think of me as a cuddly, fuzzy little critter with surprisingly big, sharp teeth.

Really? I envisaged Broom as a bit under average height, on the lean side and greying with a wiry strength borne from just getting shit done.

The kind that single-handedly carry logs around?

Buck's Shoe Repair closes after tenant 'locked up and left'

It looks like Walter Buck is giving the boot to the shoe business.

This comes after the operator of Feet First inside the former Buck's Shoe Repair in the building Buck owns has seemingly abandoned the business.

"Last week she just locked up and left," Buck said. "No information or anything."

That operator would be Lori Gallion, who signed a one-year lease with Buck in 2011 to bring her store into the space.

Buck said she's one month behind on her rent and that she wouldn't sign a new lease.

"I let her go six months, wanting to know her intent, then she didn't pay rent for a month," he said. "She walked off and left customers stranded. I can't believe people would ever do stuff like that."

Efforts to reach Gallion were unsuccessful. She also owned another Feet First location in Mishawaka but that phone number is disconnected.

Buck said he had "no idea" if customers would be able to get their shoes back. Bill Peiffer, of Valparaiso, dropped off a new pair of shoes at the store March 19. He wanted new insoles put in. He said a woman took his money and said they should be ready in a few days and that she'd call him. When Peiffer didn't get a call, he called the store but only got a phone that "rang off the hook."

"I drove by and it looked abandoned," he said. "It's really upsetting to me."

Mike Connors, who manages the property for Buck, said there are a limited number of shoes in the building and that they would be trying their best to find people's information.

"We're kind of limited, we didn't run the business," he said. "They were pretty helter-skelter in there."

Connors on Friday posted a sign on the business with Gallion's phone number for customers to call.

Buck said he hoped to have a new tenant soon but that it wouldn't be a shoe business.

This isn't the first time the business had troubles with operation. It closed in June of 2011, after two years of operation under Virginia Wihelm during which it closed intermittently. Buck evicted Wilhelm and that's when Gallion came in with Feet First.

Is that enough to get the police to start a missing persons investigation ?
