Angry auto-cross cones stolen!

i drove an hour to my region's SCCA auto-x event this morning only to find out that last night someone had stolen all 200-something cones that had been set up the day before. "WTF !?!" was the phrase of choice for many a disappointed auto-crosser as they heard the news. guys in FL and GA, keep your eyes peeled for idiots with a sh*t-load of cones.

and for those of you who saw the "alien immigration" episode of southpark last night . . . "THEY TOOK OUR CONES!" . . . "DEY TERG ER CERNS!"

WOW if I would know of a place that set the cones up over night I would be playing on the course instead of taking the cones! It is unfortunate that somebody took the cones but I don't think anybody who lives in my area would even consider putting them out the night before. It sucks but you just can't trust everybody any more.

You put 'em out the night before?!?! 12 hours of practice runs takes the fun out of it, no? Watch Ebay, hope they were marked!

Here's a link to some possibly valuable traffic cone information, including, but not limited to, a pictorial field guide and a discourse on the evolution of cones.
Maybe a profile of the perpetrators of this crime can be gleaned from this information.

Race Bred: sorry, i don't know anything of the car in your sig, except that i think i've seen it parked near Doak a few times. drop me a line about that porsche club in town; i wasn't aware of it. ljamesdickinson@yahoo.com

Manning: don't know if the "pile" will work in this case, but i'll be sure to propose the idea.
