An obsessive German shopper has admitted stealing $272,500 in a three-year crime spree to satisfy his insatiable craving for customer service.

“What am I supposed to do with 200 pairs of shoes?” the man told Bild Zeitung.
“Back at home in the shopping bag, they meant nothing to me. But I couldn’t stop!”
