It's very annoying losing a pair of flip-flops, or "thongs" if you're Australian. As a matter of fact, the comfy "shoes" are something of a national uniform Down Under.

And because some pairs of thongs are damn expensive nowadays, one man is turning to crowdfunding to source his next pair after his previous rubber beauties were stolen.
