The Florida Highway Patrol was called after a motorist witnessed Douglas Allen Hatley loading the light pole onto the roof of his Toyota Camry on the side of interstate I-4. When stopped, Hatley told the Florida Highway Patrol he found the pole on the side of the highway and planned to sell it for scrap. He is being charged with Grand Theft.

Frankly, I’m impressed. The Camry’s roof appears to have taken the pole without any problems and the guy is cleaning the interstate of debris. Though, he probably should use a little orange flag next time.
