Warning Over ‘Steal a Road Cone’ Day

Abstract:

A nationwide facebook campaign encouraging people to steal road cones has caught the attention of police. The campaign, which had over 7000 followers, has been removed from the social networking site, but police are still on high alert for anyone trying to steal road cones. Anyone caught stealing a road cone would receive a fine up to $2000.
