| Description | Finders keepers? Not if a local legislator succeeds in passing legislation inspired by a pricey parrot that flew away after Hurricane Frances.
The hyacinth macaw is safely back home on a Loxahatchee farm, but not before some wrangling, some surreptitious tape recordings and an arrest for grand theft.
Gone are the days when a neighbor automatically gives back something that's not his, law enforcement officials say. So almost five months later, this nameless parrot has prompted state Rep. Mary Brandenburg to introduce a bill dealing with the return of lost items -- including pets -- to their rightful owners. |
