Finders keepers

TAMPA, Fla. – A Florida man has learned the hard way that a downed light pole isn’t trash that can be taken and sold for scrap, authorities say. 

A state trooper pulled over a maroon Toyota Camry with a metal pole — longer than the car itself — strapped to the roof on a Tampa road Monday, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. Another driver had called police earlier and reported spotting someone loading the light pole onto the car several miles away on Interstate 4 near the Interstate 75 interchange.
