The teacher said she asked her neighbours due to her property being positioned on a cross-lease. But they were none the wiser and said it didn't belong to them. 'I thought maybe the neighbours ordered something - maybe it's a pole for a basketball hoop,' she said. Sophia has since left a note on the plastic-wrapped pole and asked people to get in touch. She now believes it could have been a tradesperson. 'I have no idea what this is doing here - please call me,' the note reads. Sophia, who works at Mount Maunganui College, said she wrote the note to deter the culprit from carrying out further work. She also alerted Tauranga City Council but to her surprise, they also had no idea about the metal pole, reports the Bay of Plenty Times. The teacher wondered whether someone had gifted it as she found the pole on the day of her fourth anniversary of owning the home. Her family initially thought she was at the centre of a prank but Sophia believes it would be too expensive. "I've got no answers," she said. "My current conclusion is that some tradies made a big stuff-up and just left it, which is annoying and random." Sophia has complained that the pole has made it more difficult to manoeuvre her car. However, she has been able to see the funny side and joked the culprit could have at least made it a square shape so she could swing on it. In a bid to get some answers, the teacher posted what had happened on a local Facebook page - which left users in hysterics. Someone asked: "Have you called the pole-ice." Another commented: "I find this post offensive, can you please remove it?" Sophia){kind=link}
