Looks like he’s saving a spot for anyone with the ability to lift a cone
Put them on Facebook under “Free”. You already have a photo.
Cool, free cones
Cones have been known to disappear.
Had a neighbor who tried this in front of her house. I called the police and asked if it was legal on a public street and gave them her address. They were gone shortly thereafter.
The weird thing was she never parked there. She had a long driveway but often parked a junky car in front of my house that wouldn’t move for weeks. I finally left a note on the windshield stating if it did not go away I would have it towed. She just didn’t want anyone parking in front of her house but had no problem doing so herself in front of other people’s houses.
She was batshit crazy too.
Move them. Nothing is keeping them there and it’s (presumably) a public road.
In Philly they have a patrol just going around picking up unsupervised orange cones…lol
Funny how those things move sometimes, looks like someone abandoned them.
YOU SEEN MY FKN CONES
Park on his cones
Have the cops come by and explain to them what “public street” means.
In Chicago we call those “dibs” and while ethically questionable, they’re only valid after digging your car out from a heavy snowfall. To move a dibs is to risk paint or tire damage. Everyone understands how it works and understands that they don’t count when there is no snow.
I don’t see any snow so those cones would end up in my trunk while I was parked there.
I have people in my neighborhood who do that to reserve the curb space in front of their home, even though we have driveways/garages. People just move em.
People get crazy about street parking.
When I was a cop I remember one call I got cuz a guy said his neighbor parked a truck blocking his driveway. I’m thinking pickup truck. No, it was the entire fucking cab to an 18-wheeler, right next to the dudes mailbox.
So, talking to them both and truck driver is upset cuz the neighbor who called oftentimes parks in front of his house. It’s a cul de sac, they’ve all got driveways, but street parking is limited. I explained the road is public so it’s first come first serve, but you can’t block mailboxes and driveways so the truck needs to move.
Dude refuses. Says he won’t move it until the neighbor who called moves his car out from in front of his house. So, I said “okie doke, no prob I’m gonna tow your truck since it’s blocking a mailbox, too close to a driveway, and city ordinance doesn’t allow these to be parked in residential streets. Or, you can move it yourself, your pick.”
Basically, people are just **really fucking entitled**
My 04 Scion Xa took out bigger cones than that. You know what to do.
Complain to your local utility that “whoever was doing work out there left their cones!” Repeat until all cones are gone
Those cones would look good stacked together right next to that tree right there.
Couldn’t you move them? Your Neighbors are not evil, they are dumb.
You can just move them and park there. It’s not legal to reserve spots in this manner.
Call the police about the construction work that isn’t properly permitted and displayed on your street. Tell them you’ve been seeing this area marked off constantly in your neighborhood and if they aren’t going to properly notice and permit the work, they need to be educated. If you assume it’s a work crew, then you have plausible deniability. You can even complain directly to that neighbor if it comes up.
Careful if you park there you might get a passive aggressive note.
Y’all need to go to South Chicago in the winter, not everyone is gonna be all fancy with some parking cones. We use chairs!

I would think about moving them and then i remember that video of the guy who shot his neighbors and then killed himself over some argument, and then i keep on minding my business lmaooo
Free cones
Also, you should be prepare for a fist fight or a gun battle if you take or toss the cones.
Easy. Run over the cones, and then put them in your trunk.
