The sign reading, “Help yourself” must have blown away, right? why else would the cones be in the road, if not to be taken?
The first call was about a group of young girls getting out of a minivan and grabbing the cones; the caller got their license plate and police contacted the girls, arranging for them to return the cones.
Police responded to as second call after a witness saw another woman taking cones; the woman told police she thought the public could take them. She was advised she was not correct.
