Hot air balloon stolen in Indiana found at Florida festival
By The Associated Press SUMMERFIELD, Fla. — Mar 24, 2019 11:35 AM ET
Florida authorities have recovered a hot air balloon stolen from its owner in Indiana.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office got a tip Saturday from police in Bloomington, Indiana, that the stolen balloon had been spotted at The Villages Hot Air Balloon Festival.
That tip wasn't full of hot air. In a Facebook post, the sheriff's office said deputies found the multicolored balloon with a grid pattern while checking other balloons participating in the three-day event in Summerfield.
The sheriff's office said the owner did not want to press charges and just wanted his balloon back.
