(UPI) – Authorities in Wisconsin are reminding residents to dispose of unwanted boats properly after a vessel was abandoned on a highway with “free” painted on the side.
The Wisconsin State Patrol said in a Facebook post that troopers responded to a call for service in Washington County and discovered someone had abandoned a boat on Highway 33. The boat had “free” painted on the side.
“Disclaimer – this is not the proper method for disposing a boat,” the post said. The post said troopers are frequently confronted with baffling sights while patrolling highways.
