I rather doubt in the environment of TV someone would steal a flag. Even the rednecks respect the flag along with the Confederate flag. I could understand it in LA, but here I do not think bothering the Sheriff was required. Only my opinion, nothing else, maybe windy that day?

In my 19 years of living here, I have found numerous flags, hats, head covers, etc. laying in the cart paths. Usually I will pick them up and put them in a conspicuous place where hopefully the owner will find it. Once I found a cap with a magnetic ball marker attached. I placed it on one of those 4 X 4 stop posts at an intersection. I went back by there about 15 minutes later and the cap was still there but the ball marker had been removed. I guess the "owner" didn't want his cap.
