I got up this morning, and the town had put a big orange cone at the end of my driveway. Being the curious sort, I had to find out why they would do that. Upon investigation, I learned that the snowplow had taken up a manhole cover and it had gotten lost under the snow and was pushed up to my mailbox. The cover they replaced it with didn't quite fit properly, so the cone was to warn drivers.

Is Beldar your road agent?

I think Beldar might have more sense.

Yeah. They did put another cover over the hole, but it sits about an inch higher than the pavement. I can foresee it popping a tire if someone hits it too fast, though.
I found the original cover when I walked down the driveway. They'll have to come put it back tomorrow.
...and then it flips like a lead nickel onto your front porch, destroying the stump water receptacle and bin of pointy sticks.....
