Shoe Tossing

I was driving Nadya to Bunco last week (see below) in the Ocean View part of Norfolk and commented that you just don't see anyone's sneakers tied together and hanging from power lines anymore. Why is that?
When I was a kid, I felt like I saw them all the time and always snickered that some poor joker mouthed off to the wrong person and next thing you know his sneakers were hanging out of reach.
So I googled shoe tossing to see if I could steal, I mean, Borrow, a photo for this blog entry and I read in Wikipedia that shoe tossing has multiple meanings.
For some the tossing of shoes on power lines may be to mark someone's death, for others it may be to indicate a crack house (called crack tennies), for others, the end of the school year or a forthcoming marriage.
Wow, I simply thought some kid got bullied and lost his converse to the power lines.
