Cut your losses

I wonder what this guy thought the cops were going to be able to do for him:

A marijuana dealer telephoned police after armed thieves stole his quarter-pound stash of pot. The 19-year-old Felton man told police that two men, one of them armed with a handgun, robbed him at gunpoint as he sat in his car on Tuesday night.

"It was unique to have people who were dealing drugs calling us when they've been ripped off," police spokesman Zach Friend said.

After the thieves made off with his stash, the dealer telephoned police. When police arrived, the dealer's story became progressively confused.

First he showed officers a medical marijuana card and told them he bought the pot at a medical marijuana dispensary. Then he said he got the pot from a friend. Eventually the dealer admitted he had arranged to sell the marijuana to the men who stole it from him, investigators said.

If they find the perps, I don't think they'll be returning the victim's property to him.

The article goes on to mention that the cops didn't arrest the dealer. Not surprising, seeing as how he wasn't in possession of any drugs. I guess in that respect, the thieves did him a favor.
