[November 28, 2007]  TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Highway Patrol says anyone missing two big bags of pot can call their Tampa area office.

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

FHP Trooper Larry Coggins said the 60 pounds of pot might be worth around $54,000 on the street. It probably fell off or was thrown from a car on the interstate, he said.

Coggins said it's not the largest amount of pot ever dumped along a roadside, but it's certainly not a common find.
