MA. couple finds 50 lbs of pot in vanity from Home Depot!
http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO20940/

Fifty pounds of pot discovered inside newly purchased furniture

BILLERICA, Mass. --

A couple finds a surprise inside a vanity for their new bathroom.

When they opened the cabinet, which was bought by a contractor at a Home Depot in Tewksbury,

the couple found inside 50 pounds of marijuana.

Investigators say the box does not look like it was tampered with.

Both local police and the Drug Enforcement Administration are investigating.

No comment as of yet has been made from Home Depot on the drug discovery.

UPDATE:
Local TV news just said that after the police opened the plastic wrapped pot they also found 2 lbs of cocaine!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sounds like Home Depot isn't paying employee's enough $$!!

:rofl:

47. I bet even the cops we're thinking that.
"You found 50 lbs. of free pot, and you're calling us? What the fuck are you thinking?"

3. Sounds like someone isn't inspecting freight containers at the ports
And Home Depot is fast-tracked through customs.

Is it Rumsfeld that's on their board of directors?

15. They don't call it "Home De Pot" for nothing.
Honestly I would have called the cops too. I would suspect a sting operation.

21. Tonight, in every Home Depot in America,
customers are running in, whipping open vanities, hoping, hoping.

The help got there first, though.

They called the cops .......

27. If it had been me:
Insert clip from Half Baked when Chappelle realized the Rx he had just been sent to fill...came back as a great big bag of weed. I cum in my pants. Look around frantically in a paranoid manner to make sure nobody realizes what I've just discovered.

As I begin to stuff my pants and shirt with all said Marijuana...that song from Benny Hill breaks in...and in double speed I make for the door.



I mean...if I had been at the store.


If I had been at home like these people when they discovered it, I would've turned to my girlfriend, and said, "What the heck are we gonna do with all this weed?". And then I would've promptly gone out and bought a freezer (as ours is tiny) with the proceeds the cocaine would've given me. One GIANT KICK ASS FREEZER. AND A NEW GARAGE TO PUT IT IN!

30. I was thinking maybe I would have asked the bank if they
could accept my find in lieu of cash payment. I'd cut my mortgage in half.

32. A street value of $105,000.00
Now like the rest of you my first thought was why call the cops, when you could be stoned forever? Then I thought about it a little more and I probably would have called the cops too. This was $150,000 worth of merc that belonged to an organized criminal who probably worked at Home Depot, and who is to say that the criminal who stashed it wouldn't be able to look them up in a computer.

43. I doubt they had a choice.

Consider this...

This vanity was bought by a contractor from a Home Depot. The vanity, as a piece of inventory was probably tracked by bar code from whatever goddamn chinese container it was shipped on. At some point, probably while in the possession of the contractor but maybe before, it was chosen to be the Vessel O Delite for the dope by Mr. or Messrs Triggerfinger McDealerguy. Now McDealerguy is not likely to forget where his $100K+ payday was secreted, and he's just waiting for it to stop moving long enough to liberate it. It is possible that McDealerguy was delayed in his quest to deliver the babe from the gestating vanity, and the no doubt smartly styled bit of bathroom storage was delivered to Mr. & Mrs. Civilian. Imagine if the Civilians said nothing? Imagine if days went by and no constabulary cruisers were seen by McDealerguy in front of the Civilian abode? What if the Civilians were seen bringing home a trunkload of Little Debbie products? Well, I doubt McDealerguy would waste much time, nor skimp on bullets, to obtain his Rightfully.

If that happened to me, my first thought would not be of papers, but rather "who the fuck is gonna come claim this shit". I would then call the cops. Then I would pull out a few baggies and carefully arrange it so that "the box does not look like it was tampered with".

Remember, kids, safety first.
