The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating the theft of a political sign from private property on Tanglewood Drive in Lakeland, on November 13th at about 4:05pm.
Now some might say that deputies should investigate real crimes, but truth is, this is a real crime. The PCSO investigates ALL crimes, no matter how big or small.
