One streetcorner in northwest Indiana (US state, not to be confused with India) abounds with discarded shoes. Somehow it’s become a tradition for people to leave unwanted footwear at 109th and Calumet Avenues in Hanover Township; the highway department removes the shoes periodically, but they keep accumulating.

“I have never seen anybody throw a shoe out there,” said St. John town manager Steve Kil, who can see the intersection from his house. “I just know that they’re always there.”

In 2009 the 86-year-old local historian told the Chicago Tribune that people had been dumping shoes at the corner for 50 years. Some mysterious clues: The pile is tallest on Monday mornings, and it grows fastest in the summer and dwindles by late August.

“I have to chuckle because I can remember when I was a child growing up in the 1970s, my mother would drive past this corner all the time,” Kil said. “She would slow down, and we would just examine the pile. And now I drive through here five days a week, and there’s always a new crop of shoes.”

Some locals call it the Corner of Lost Soles.

Yah obv staged lol (I mean someone recording it all like that perfectly). Funny regardless.
I have watched maby such videos by now. The one that I really enjoyed watching was the one where a female steals a man's bike. He really didn't expect it seems. It ws a CCTV which caught the incident as it happened. Could still be staged. Not sure.
But I enjoyed it. Lolz
