Big John loses his boots

I sent a version of this story in to Where's My Sneaks a while ago, but realize I never posted it here.  This version also has a bit more ballbusting!

John and Ollie were both part of a crew of 7 guys on a work site.  They were all good friends and loved playing pranks and practical jokes on one another, but John was the biggest of the guys by quite a margin which made him a formidable target.  He was well aware of this and used it to his advantage, pranking the other guys with impunity, knowing that it would be much harder for them to get him back.  Last week he had tossed a massive bag of cement mix to Ollie and when the smaller man stumbled and fell over, trapped under the bag, he had pulled Ollie’s boots off and tossed them on the roof of their office trailer.  He did get the bag off Ollie afterwards, but then the de-booted Ollie had to walk across the site in his socks and climb up on the trailer to get his boots back.  Ollie had eyed John’s boots for the rest of the day, but he knew he didn’t stand a chance of getting them by himself.
