KEY WEST (AP) A New York tourist called police to report that several items were stolen from his hotel room, including some high quality Bahamian marijuana.

Thirty-three-year-old Jim Devlin, of East Meadow, New York, filed the report early yesterday morning. That's according to Key West police. He was not charged because no marijuana was found.

Devlin -- who told police he's an investment banker -- also claimed 50 dollars and a watch were also stolen. He declined to tell police the amount or worth of the allegedly missing marijuana.

Devlin's story to police fluctuated wildly. He told police that the alleged missing watch was worth 18-hundred dollars, then 30-thousand dollars, then three-thousand dollars. He also said a 20-thousand dollar Rolex was left in an in-room vault at the Hilton.

OK, so this guy does not yet qualify for a Darwin Award, but he's probably well on the way.......

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

You'd think even a pothead would have some semblance of common sense left? Maybe? Maybe not.

He's not a bit stupid! When the police recover some marijuana, they'll know who it belongs to and give it to him.

He he he.........he smoke it and "thought" it was stolen I'll bet.

Stay Safe "H" !

I saw this one on a Miami TV station's website and started laughing out loud. First time the "news" has made me laugh in quite a while.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Yeah, no fooling.

Thanks !

Well. Bud Krieger is not me, but was a character on a famous TV show. If you are a fan of " All in the Family" you may know who the character is.

I hesitate to say it, but what was he smoking?

[NewRomeTacitus]

"...who told police he's an investment banker"

Responsible for other people's money and can't even decide how much of his own was missing. It' up in smoke now.

Hey, were Cheech and Chong there?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

This guy is obviously a really sharp tack (/sarcasm).

Oh GAWD that's funny!

[dfwgator]

I used to be a banker before I got high
I used to have a watch before I got high
Now my pot is all gone and now I know why
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Oh yeah - like I'm really gonna waste any of my time lobbying or protesting to get him out of prison (rolling my eyes).

LOL - maybe you should go into the parody writing business for National Lampoon? 'Twould be fitting given the nature of this thread's topic ;-).
