Cops are trying to find a patio pirate who took boxes of unique shoes from the home of Memphis men’s basketball coach Cent Hardaway earlier this month.According to a Memphis

authorities report acquired by ESPN, a male suspect was caught on video camera taking the product and pressing a shopping cart with the stolen packages near Hardaway’s home. Authorities have actually launched pictures of the suspect online.
