UK shoe dumping mystery

Media Images 40927000 Jpg 40927925 Shoes203

Pairs of shoes are mysteriously being dumped outside a farmhouse in Lincolnshire, England. Since December, more than a dozen have shown up on the side of the road, usually on Sunday. According to the BBC, "some of the shoes are cheap, with price labels of £1.99 attached and some are more expensive designer brands."

The (Foster family who live nearby) have video footage, which shows an elderly couple driving by in a green vehicle depositing the shoes.

Mrs Foster said that although it was scary at first, she was rather hoping some of the pairs might fit.
