Storming result!

From The Metro:

Dopey [sic] police officers stood guard outside a raided cannabis factory – while thieves broke in at the back and made off with a major part of the find.

As the two community support officers watched the front, dozens of plants were being put into bin liners and loaded into a van out the back.

A neighbour saw what was going on and called police, who arrived too late to prevent about £15,000-worth of plants being taken. An investigation into the blunder has begun...

...and whilst plod are investigating this blunder...the thieves will come back and nick the rest - eh?

Ha ha ha!

Still - I bet they make a good cuppa down at the station.

Made a hash of it - yes. Like it.

The police in this country are really going to pot. They are probably waiting for someone to grass the thieves up, but we'ed better not hold our breath.

JJ, AKH, B, that's the spirit :-)

I must admit my pun generator broke down this week. I was toying with "they disappeared in a puff of smoke" or "Was one of the PCSO's a toke'n woman?" or "Did the thieves send some lookouts to case the joint first?" or "They should really weed out these useless PCSOs" but those were all distinctly unfunny, even by my low standards.
