MIAMI (Reuters) - Burglars snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs, Florida sheriff's deputies said on Wednesday. The ashes were taken from a woman's home in the central Florida town of Silver Springs Shores on December 15. The thieves took an urn containing the ashes of her father and another container with the ashes of her two Great Danes, along with electronic equipment and jewelry, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said. Investigators learned what happened to the ashes after they arrested five teens in connection with another burglary attempt at a nearby home last week. "The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine," the sheriff's report said. Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriff's spokesman Judge Cochran said. Police divers were trying to recover the ashes. The suspects were jailed on numerous burglary and other charges.
These must be the dumbest fucking teen criminals in the history of earth? How retarded do you have to be to mistake an Urn full of ashes for a stash of coke? Is that a common hiding place these days that I'm not aware of? Or when you popped the top and saw the powder was all ashy and gray wouldn't that be a give away?
I'm no druggie but I've seen enough movies and National Geographic specials to know what coke is supposed to look like. Certainly shouldn't resemble burnt up dog carcass. I'm seriously concerned with the level of education this countries teenagers are getting these days. I took DARE in the 5th grade, I could identify Dust, PCP, Meth, Coke, Heroin and Crack before I'd even had my first kiss. You'd think in a drug intense area like Miami these kids would have been doing drug flash cards since they were toddlers. Could have avoided this whole mix up.
