There seems to be a rash of totally inept criminals lately. They pop
up on the morning news here at least once a week. Where the heck are
today's Lex Luthors?
It may sound like an urban legend, but I happen to know this one to be
true, as I personally know one of the guys who did it. In fact, I
talked to him less than a month ago.
Anyway, the local sheriff's department had made a pot bust and seized a
bunch of plants that'd been growing on a local farm. There was a big
story on the local news about it, as usual, so everyone in town was
talking about it. Since it's a rural area, everyone pretty much knows
everyone else -- and that includes the people on the sheriff's department.
Well, this guy I know and a couple of his buddies got this bright idea:
Since they knew some of the deputies, they also knew where the sheriff's
department kept the evidence they seized in such situations. So, they
figured they'd wait until things died down a little, and then they'd
break into the evidence room and steal the plants that were seized.
Well, they did. And, apparently, the plants were fairly large, because
they had to drag them from the evidence room to the motel room they'd
rented for the operation, which was maybe a couple-hundred yards from
the evidence room they'd broken into. We know this because, upon
discovering the break-in, the sheriff's deputies followed the trail of
fallen marijuana leaves all the way to the hotel room and busted them
the next morning.
True story.
