Were I to give shoes away like that, there are plenty of charities who would take them. If I didn't want to go the institutional route, I'd leave them somewhere other than at the edge of the sidewalk, inches from the street, next to a parked car (although I acknowledge that the car may have parked next to the shoes sometime after they were placed there). Mind you, what makes sense to me likely doesn't make sense to the next guy, so maybe you're right. Maybe they're just being given away and the previous owner is hoping that some poor street person can make some use of them. They look so worn that one wonders if the previous owners were on the street...

2010/2/20 John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com: Seriously though, probably someone who doesn't need them anymore put them out on the street so someone who does can take them. Better way to recycle than tying the laces together and throwing them over a power line. they look very dusty - i think they were either forgotten there (carried one pair each hand) when someone loaded up a vehicle, possibly to move pads, or just put outside as per John's assumption cheers Ecke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
