If you own cones, another productive thing you can do is sell a service to restaurants. They give you $500 and you put your cones out so that all of the traffic on their street is diverted into their parking lot.

Those are CHEAP. A real 18" traffic cone will run you upwards of $10 EACH, for the cheap ones. A 36" DOT grade highway cone is about $25.

I'm finding that out. In fact, those cones in the OP are too stiff as well. I'm looking at another set now.

Seriously, this.

And if Kansas is anything like Illinois, you won't need to drive more than a mile or so to find the nearest construction zone, no matter where you are.

I tried diverting traffic into my mom's driveway once, and people STILL wouldn't **** that dirty whore.

keep in mind if you steal 30 cones, it WILL be a felony. And if our company caught you, we WOULD prosecute.

KC might be different, but here we've had several jobsite thefts over the years, and caught several of them through various ways.

Another good cone related business would be to rent them to people who are planning to be an orange hedgehog for Halloween.

Yeah... I have no interest in going to jail for stealing vinyl. lol

And here I thought those five guys standing around drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes were just loafing - apparently they're diligently looking out for cone thieves! LMAO

LOL...yeah, THOSE guys are just standing around.

We don't do road work, just buildings. We have been tipped off by people over the years though. Once by an ex-wife, a couple of times by nosy passerbys or neighbors, and the police have recovered some things in some cases. Once a guy out walking his dog at 11:30 saw a guy loading up lumber off a site, and got the plate number. He called our office and left voice mail. :thumb:
