No, you cannot leave your stuff lying around

I'll admit it, I'm kind of a neat freak.  If there are crumbs on the counter, a stack of papers misaligned, or smudge on the mirror I can't help but wipe, straighten and Windex until order is restored.  Fine, I'm borderline OCD; it is what it is.  I can cope with leaving a pile or two around the house just because time has not allowed for things to go in their rightful place, though this disregard for organization can only last so long.  Take for instance the NYPD who tend to leave large items around town after a public event to be picked up by the clean-up crew.  On my walk to work everyday I pass a pile of metal barricades on the corner of 18th St. and 6th Ave.  I rarely notice them as they are not in the middle of the sidewalk nor necessarily bothering anyone, but it came to my attention recently that these structures have been living as orphans since the Halloween Parade.  Yes, the Halloween Parade which occurred the night of October 31st where this corner served as the end of the line for floats and followers.  At the time there were hundreds of barricades up and down 6th Avenue but these lone soldiers got left out in the cold, literally.  Not saying that NYPD doesn't have more important things to do, but I'd assume the inventory round-up for 2011 was off by a few items and I'd like to inform the city that I've found them.  Plus, the 2012 budgets are probably being finalized as I type this and I would prefer my city tax dollars be spent in a more useful way than replacing stray equipment.  On the bright side, at least they're stacked nicely.
