My friend used to climb massive pine trees late at night in a park across his street, and place traffic cones on top. No one knew who was doing it or why. Many people thought it was the local council marking the trees to be cut down which upset residents. He started noticing police regularly patrolling the area, but he kept doing it and never got caught. It made the local paper, explaining how much confusion and disruption it was causing the police and local council. He hung the article on his wall.

Went on to become a stuntman https://imdb.com/name/nm3068647/

Dude did you just reveal his identity and ruin his secret streak?

Plot twist: saltesc is the real tree cone fugitive and they just pinned their crimes on a rival stuntman

Their comment has been posted before. Either they ruined it ages ago, or it has become copy-pasta, protecting the identity of the climber.

Haha. I'm sure the police knew. He had been arrested a few times for climbing bridges and construction sites around the city. Then get dropped home right by a massive pine tree with a cone on top.
