boot and shoe thief
noun
a criminal who robs parking meters using an adjustable key US- Now they have on that by just changin’ a little dial on it they can use one key and open any meter in any district. We call those kind of thieves “boot and shoe thieves.” Where that’s derived from is when they start stealing with a boot on one foot and a shoe on the other. — Harry King, Box Man, p. 71, 1972
