cone

In NZ, the art of placing roadcones in eccentric high-up spots e.g. statues, church spires, tall trees and traffic lights; usually done late at night as a dare and/or for the lulz by groups of bored school kids or dero thirty-somethings on the turps. Common during major roadworks in built-up urban areas. Spates of low-effort repeat offenses draw negative attention from the police, but they have been known to applaud well-executed cone operations that demonstrate a level of skill in scaling buildings/structures.
