why is there a birkenstock bolted into this powerpole?

here’s a creative variation on shoe-tossing/shoes on a powerline...
ok, i get the idea of jesus being nailed to a tree, maybe there is something in that, but this took a lot more effort than nails did…
someone screwed these little mothers in. the other jesus sandal is screwed into the other side of the pole, out of shot.
why bother doing this? in the area this photo was take, i am sure it was not supposed to be art. then what, boredom? unemployment can do some pretty fruity things to people sometimes…
….as in the comments below, could it be revisiting shoes on a powerline?

…well apparently shoes thrown over power lines or attached to something outdoors means there is a drug dealer in the area. charming eh?
