I think they're serious

I mean, you couldn't make this up:

The love of drunken revellers for walking off with traffic cones has left one police force facing a costly shortage.....With derby clashes coming up between Southampton and Portsmouth football clubs in the city in December, the police have backed a cone amnesty.

Of course, they'll claim that the amnesty was a massive success, with 40,000 cones handed in when in actual fact all they will have received is a couple of old boots and a hat.
