Wierd shoes left outside house?

[PossibiliTea]

Would you chuck these in the bin?

Got home from work to see them on a tree on my drive/ just off the pavement.

Asked neighbours and no one has a clue, googled it and says it might be a mark for crime or something??

If it is a mark (and I hadn't heard of that) then chuck them away immediately! I thought a chalk mark was the mark for criminals.

Weird. I doubt they are a crime thing. That's usually shoes hung over telegraph wires by their laces, and means it's a drug dealing spot. Unless you live in the Bronx I don't think they'll be dealing in your front drive.

I'd probably put them on the nearest wall and if they are still there tomorrow, chuck them.

I've been broken into before but I know what you mean about the bronx lol they aren't thrown over the telephone line so it's fine. Just typical google isn't it!

I'll just chuck them.

Shoes hung over telegraph wires means it's a drug dealing spot?!? Really? I had No idea!

I always thought it was an urban legend but I have seen it in areas where there are drugs gangs operating.

These have no laces

They look good to me! They've fallen off someone's car or bag and been tidied away by your tree. Stick 'em somewhere more visible, so owner can reclaim them.

Have you checked the owner is not stuck up the tree?

Never knew that about the shoes over telegraph wires. I have led a very sheltered life obviously..

Ooh, it's like that Inside No 9 episode with Keely Hawes. Where the shoe kept reappearing outside the house.

Chelsea boots are in aren't they ?

Is that really true about trainers over a telegraph wire ? Iv often wondered why anyone would throw them up there and also how on earth they managed to get them up and over ??? Is that really true about drug spot

weird -we have found a pair of newish looking adidas trainers in the same sort of spot at our house this week - at the front just behind the hedge .

Ellie haha that's what I said to my neighbour and genuinely looked up!!

Ooo pipsqueak that's weird. If they aren't gone by morning I will chuck them :)

We find shoes on our stoop all the time. It's usually drunks who take them off, sit with their kebab and leave them behind. I just bin them now.

What size are they? I could do with some boots like that.

There's some folks over on S+B that would pay 200 quid for them

Size 8! If they fit you can have them I was going to take them to the charity shop

Ugh. Too big for me unfortunately.

Sometime foxes take them when people leave them outside of their own house, although this fox must have lined them up pretty neatly, so it might not be that.

Buttery that's the first thing that came to my mind too! Are they a size 9
