Police confiscate farmer's home-built tractor
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - November 28 (Benito Key, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - A farmer who had built a tractor from spare parts had it confiscated after police stopped him November 22.
Ricardo Betancourt was driving into Aguada de Pasajeros in Cienfuegos province when officer Raúl Gonzalo stopped him, searched him, and took him and his tractor to the police station.
Once there, authorities informed Betancourt that the tractor would be confiscated since he couldn't produce papers to justify his ownership.
Betancourt said he couldn't have had papers because he had built the tractor out of parts scavenged primarily from abandoned vehicles.
