There's a lot to love about Florida, and Florida Man is one of those things that's distinctly 'Florida'. This Florida guy takes the cake - I mean - he takes the signs. Smokey the Bear helped law enforcement arrest a man for stealing his signs from across Florida and selling them on Facebook Marketplace. The guy was posting the signs on Facebook Marketplace for $1,900 apiece, according to Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson in this report.
“Our Ag Law Team has a suspect in custody who traveled from Pensacola to Orlando stealing Smoky Bear signs from our state forests and selling them on Facebook Marketplace for $1,900 each,” he continued.
“Big thank you to Smokey the Bear for personally assisting in the arrest.” The suspect, whose identity was not released, was transported to jail following his arrest.

1,900 was a steal of a deal (pun intended), they probably cost the tax payer north of 300 g's each installed.
