Runners

I think someone is going to need a new pair of runners for Christmas.

Why kids throw their running shoes over the overhead wires I have no idea. Obviously they don't buy them themselves. I hope the kid who did this has to buy a new pair out of their own money.

Some one said its a sign of a drug house.

Oh my goodness!!! ;-)))))

I think its probably some kid just messing about. They do look like they've seen better days though.

[Yao RL]

Is this a expression of wishing for a new pair

Well spotted and captured Babs.

@tesssa I've heard that too. Must be a lot of drug houses near us as the kids are always doing this. This one is right next to the school though.

@joeyc @gamelee @yaorenliu @derekvickers Thanks. When I zoomed in on this I noticed that they were caked in mud, so I reckon the kid who they belonged to didn't want to clean them. This is right next to the secondary school and it is a regular pastime with the teenagers.

I must say I always imagine when I see trainers hanging like this that it is done without the owners consent by 'friends' but I'm not sure why I think that!

Boys will be boys I'd say! Yes, hope someone paid for a new pair other than the parents!

[Babs]

@paulaw @jackie8 I think they all probably thought it was a good idea at the time.

[Raye]

Cool capture!

[Nicola]

Ha ha.

Where I come from, it marks out gang territory. Hope that it not true in this case near the school. Nicely spotted.

@sunraye Thanks Raye. Sorry I haven't been commenting lately, but we have only just got home from visiting family in Melbourne. Hopefully will be back on track again now. Hope you had a good Christmas.

@frankhymus If it is gang territory, I think they are pretty quiet about it. Just kids being kids I think.

[Frank Hymus]

@onewing Maybe. Australia after all.
