Here's a rare example of stupid crime prevention, when stupid crime is compounded by a misguided attempt to bring law enforcement into the scene:
An Australian man's complaint of an break-in at his home went to pot Friday when police arrested him for growing marijuana.
The 35-year-old man in the central Australian city of Adelaide called police to report that six men had broken into his house through a window and stolen parts of his cannabis plants, South Australia Police said.
Police were unable to find the intruders but brought a drug warrant to search the home, where they found six large cannabis plants growing in two bedrooms, police said in a statement.
The man was charged with cultivating cannabis for sale.
I'm sure this man's senes of injustice is well founded, but let this be a lesson to you. If someone steals your pot, your meth lab, your blotter, your illegal cane toad, or anything else you wouldn't want the police to find, please take the law into your own hands. It's for the best.
