So i found a nice pair of shoes dangling from some telephone wires and they look like their just my size. Unfortunately there aren't have woods nearby so i couldn't get them down with a long tree branch. Any suggestions?

Some kind of long thin object would work. Or you could chop the pole down

dont chop the pole down, thats stupid. get a super long hedge clippers and just take down the wire. easier for the people to fix it.

if the dealer sees you steeling his shoe, he will be pissed.

Yes that is a much better idea but you have to jump while you do it so you arent grounded and shock yourself

i think your best shot is during a lightning storm your going to want to get a large old school tv antenna and try to poke the shoes over. the key here is to make sure everything is wet.

no no, train a bird to order food from mcdonalds for you, which he will always get for free cause its a bird, and then on one of his journeys back have him grab the shoes.

drug dealers throw shoes on their telephone wires so you know they are there.

different colored shoes mean different things. Pretty much all of them relate to drug dealers. Don't mess with the shoes though, cause if you get caught, you will be in a serious amount of hurt. Even worse, you could get caught by a cop and then have to figure out a way to convince them that you aren't a drug dealer.


There is a yellow duck hanging down the street from where I live. I cant figure out if it is the symbol for a dealer or if it is considered art since I am in the artist's district...

It's definitely not just for drug dealers. Gangs in certain areas do it when one of their members have been killed.

How bout' this. Get the limb cutters and don't fucking cut the wire. Just cut the shoe laces. Buy new laces. You're set.

First off, I highly doubt you want shoes that have been on a telephone wire, birds make nests in them and they get gross really quickly up there.

Some people put up shoes to show signs of there turf or drug dealin spot but most of the time its random kids doing dumb shit. Back in highschool right outside our cutthrough/chill spot we had like 6 pairs of shoes up , and a backpack.

If you really have the need for these shoes call the power company, thats the only people who take down shoes because it becomes a hazard or something. Wait till you see em taking them down or ask them when its going to be taken care of.

it can mean someone died there or usually it just means you're leaving that town/city so you hang your shoes up.
