If you somehow find yourself transporting a giant pink flamingo, take note: Police want you to properly tie it to your car.

Saanich, B.C., police had to tell a driver who was coasting down McKenzie Avenue that "according to the Motor Vehicle Act, your arms are not considered 'tie downs.' "

The police tweeted a photo of the car on Thursday, saying the driver was let off with a warning and a "good laugh."

Your arms out the window, holding onto something on the roof, are not considered proper “tie downs”... 🙄 With the nice weather finally here please make sure you properly secure your cargo if you’re headed to the beach <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/yyjtraffic?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#yyjtraffic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Saanich?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Saanich</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/yyj?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#yyj</a> <a href="https://t.co/lbLJdKV8Qs">pic.twitter.com/lbLJdKV8Qs</a> —@SaanichPolice
