"The burglars thought they had hit the jackpot when the saw the pale-coloured powder marked “Charlie” — slang for cocaine — in a pot on pet-lover Dee’s mantelpiece. But they were unaware the pot was an urn and the “drugs” really the remains of her beloved Newfoundland Charlie, who died in 1997."

"Charlie" — slang for cocaine Hey, I resemble that remark!
Good thing I'm not going to be cremated.

Who knows. It was bizarre they parked their car in her driveway and had the urn and ashes already packed in their car. Naturally my mom pulled in behind them in the garage so they couldn't get out. The police arrives.
I assumed they liked the urn. :)

Makes me wonder - was Charlie perhaps a drug-sniffing dog?

Their hard-urned cache did them no good.

I have no clue about why "Charlie" is british slang for coke...I always thought it was a cockney rhyme thing...

On a related note, when apprehended, the suspects sat up and begged for mercy.
Their attorney said they were "good boys, good boys."

Now, now - you're taking me WAY too seriously! LOL I was just contemplating the irony of the ashes of a drug-sniffing dog being mistaken for drugs and snorted. 8-p

I've also heard of druggies snatching a bag of microballoons they've seen laying around. Microballoons look like a white powder but are actually tiny glass balloons. They're used as a filler for building up a composite structure.
I bet they'd do a lot of damage if snorted.

It was funny when it happened several years ago. Geez, so much for the new information age being so fast.
