LAKELAND, Fla. – A Florida mystery is so complex, it needs to a step-by-step explanation:
1. Man steals truck
2. Swan sculpture was in back of truck
3. Man was naked
4. Truck was located
5. Man was arrested

While wearing his birthday suit, Thompson steals the truck and drives off the property. The swan sculpture was in the back of the truck at the time of the theft.
Thompson was later arrested in Hillsborough County, while deputies were able to recover the truck.
However, the swan sculpture is still missing and the owner is hoping someone with a keen eye for things can offer a lead to its whereabouts.
