BROWNVILLE, Maine — Between 30 and 40 orange traffic cones were taken from Stickney Hill Road sometime late Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to Town Manager Matthew Pineo.
The Maine Department of Transportation reported the theft to police on Wednesday. Each cone costs around $36, according to the town.
Brownville was slammed by heavy rainfall and flooding over the weekend, and crews have been working to reopen several roads in and around town, including Stickney Hill Road, that were washed out or badly damaged by flash floods.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Brownville town office at 965-2561 or the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department at 564-3304.
Rotten pukes. You just stole from 1500 people. That should be a special crime.
36 is more than a prank. Check out a local contractor?
Cianbro?
They may need them on the East West Highway to funnel all the Traffic into Vigues Toll Trap!
For a County boy turned a flat lander, can you tell me what this Vigues toll trap is? Thanks. :)
If any people are injured because of the missing cones thee thieves or thief should be held accountable for any accidents these missing cones could cause.

Having worked on earth crews, cones I have seen are pretty generic. Also, and i’m not sure of this, but I do believe those were town cones on town roads.
Maybe the town of Hampden could lend Brownville officer Bailey.He solved the great cone theft here a while ago.
