I saw some shoes hanging, by the laces, from an electric wire between power poles. Some of the shoes appeared to be quite new!

They appeared in quite a few neighbourhoods. Are they graffiti on the wire?

What do they represent? Are these acts just pranks? Are they drugs related? Do they mean something?

    I think friends do it to each other as a prank, especially if the shoes are new and expensive. Because there is not really any way to get them down. Unless risking a serious shock. Mike

    I have seen that near my house too. I think maybe it is a marking of the ganja dealers territory or kids bored on school holidays being silly. AAA
