That is a good way to get things home when they are to long, provided however that the items belong to you. Back in 1968 when I was working in a very large engineering works one of the workers decided he needed a 6 meter length of steel and borrowing it (permanantly) from his employer was the cheapest way of getting it.
He tied it under his car and as he drove out off the company premises he had to pass over a gutter. As he drove out, the front end dug into the ground so he tried to reverse and then the rear dug into the ground and he was stuck there.
As per Murphies law, the next person to leave the premises was the Works Manager. You can guess what happened next.
