Parking in Philly can be maddening. Past a certain time of day or in a specific neighborhood like South Philly or Fairmount it can get real frustrating making laps trying to find a spot.
One move people resort to is place a work cone in between two cars to indicate that "work" will be taking place in that specific spot...we know that it's bullshit. While frowned upon, people typically don't do anything about it....except for a new group...
According to the PhillyVoice a group in Philly calling themselves the Cone Rangers have formed to remove cones from spots and vow to call out their neighbors who placed them there.
So if you're one of those people who put the cone down, and suddenly come back to your spot being taken...take this as a warning that the Cone Rangers are on the loose.
***IF YOU HAVE SUFFERED FROM STRESS AND ANXIETY DUE TO YOUR CONE BEING TAKEN BY THE CONE RANGERS...YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL COMPENSATION***
DONT GET BONED BY THE CONE RANGERS...
