Consume Mass Quantities!

I don't really associate orange cones with building construction. I associate them with a five mile stretch of I-55 in the middle of bumble**** Illinois, where traffic is shut down to one lane, clogged with a thousand ****ing semis and moving at about five miles per hour, and when you finally get to the area of actual construction, it consists of a single ten foot section of missing roadway, two idle pieces of machinery and five guys standing around doing absolutely nothing.

Dont you just want to swing the door open and let the 50 Cal blaze!? Thanks for making me sit in 30 minutes of unnecessary traffic you **** faces.

well, yeah. But we do use them. We have probably 40 or 50 kicking around in storage containers or the shop.

Things stolen from us are mostly material, sometimes tools and equipment.

And I hear you on road construction. They repaved the 2 lane asphalt access road around our building last fall, and I literally sat and looked out my office window at a road with nothing happening for 2 weeks, while I had to detour 5 minutes out of my way to get to and from the office every day, multiple times a day.

Wow. Surprised by all the people advocating theft in here. How about I come to your office and take your computer? It's probably worth about the same as 30 cones.

But if it's left outside, it's abandoned. It works for cones, cars, bicycles, lawn ornaments, mailboxes, and with a little bit of rationalizing, storm windows.

You obviously haven't been to my office. LMAO

Is that a lawyer joke?

No, it means that our computers are so old and shitty that no self-respecting thief would condescend to steal one.

Ok, well that's just one example. I agree with ragemur and was about to post the same type of comment.

Would all you people advocating stealing cones off the highway also do something like that yourself? And if so, would you steal something off the shelf at the grocery, electronics, or other store (assuming you might be able to get away with it)?

The point is that it is stealing no matter how you look at it. Don't mean to sound all high and mighty because Lord knows I've done some things I'm not proud of in my lifetime. But I have a real problem with this kind of thing partly because I have worked in those construction zones. Those cones are there for a very good reason, for your safety as a driver as well as the road workers safety.

And I agree that I hate those construction zones that go for miles and miles and they are only working on a small segment at a time. I've complained about that, too. But that is the way it is done. Usually, I'll try to find a better route (if possible) to avoid it.

lol I seriously doubt that 30 of your cones are worth my mapping computer.

Do I steal cones from road construction sites? No. But do I give a shit if someone else does? No. These companies are absolutely raping the taxpayers, milking weeks worth of work into months worth of headaches. **** 'em.

There's a stretch of I-55 around Normal, Illinois that's been under nearly constant construction since I was in the Navy. I've been out of the Navy since 1990.

so....steal 29?

Just get them from the road
