Crew picking up litter along Florida highway finds freshly harvested marijuana - MSNBC Wire Services - MSNBC.com

TAMPA, Florida - The Florida Highway Patrol says anyone missing two big bags of marijuana can call their Tampa area office.

A crew picking up litter along the Interstate 4 highway Tuesday morning made an unusual find: two big plastic garbage bags stuffed with freshly harvested marijuana.

The 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of pot probably fell off or was thrown from a car on the interstate, Trooper Larry Coggins said.

I guess when I move down to FL I'll have to start a late night drive looking for bags of weed in late fall:jointsmile:

I just wonder how much they could of had to not notice 60lbs or what kind of situation you would have to be in to throw 60lbs out.

What a find that would have been:thumbsup:. Would you post an ad in the lost and found in local paper, or maybe Craigslist. Or "PARTY AT MY HOUSE"?? But they'll probably contact the highway patrol so they can get it back right?? I can just picture that one on the 'dumb crook news'. I hate to say it but there are people stupid enough to do it, "my boss is going to kill me". Can I have my weed back now officer?

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just don't know how pissed off I am right now!!!!!!

EDIT: Actually, it was closer to Plant City which is closer to the outskirts of Orlando than Tampa. Here's a better version of the story with some pics. I'm sure once it dried and trimmed it wouldn't be 60 pounds but I'm so pissed right now. It's like an unclaimed lottery ticket! For once though they cops didn't really overinflate the price (probably a little bit) like they normally do to sensationalize busts. They called it $54,000. It is probably less than that though but some police agencies would call this a $250,000 find.

It's just a matter of time before they figure out who did this if they have a record because all they have to do is lift prints from the garbage bags.

There not gonna waste fingerprinting on it. No person was murdered here. I know for a fact that unless the crime is very very serious, They won't bother to whip out the dust.
My friend had his door busted in and everything in his house was robbed. And the person shot & killed my friends dog when breaking in. He had lawyers in the family so if they could have fingerprinted, they would have.
Point being, They told him that unless this crime involved violence against "people", They just could not use the dust(whole separate unit).
The dust people are very busy at murder scenes in most places. They have no time for small stuff.
