This is horrible. Does anyone have the locations of the eggs so I can safely recover them to make sure no one else smokes those dank nuggs?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 34 minutes ago

I'll help you.

Why are the police looking for him?

Dont they have better things to do than give people awards or sth?

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

Great, this will just stir up the "omg Halloween candy has razor blades in it" crowd.

He's like a Scooby-Doo villain but for good? He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky cops.

The Easter Buddy.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 57 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

In true Easter Egg Hunt fashion, one egg was not recovered until someone's grandchild randomly found it a day later.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 28 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Thought you were joking

"The suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location as hints to locate the eggs," the release said. "He also posted a photo of five plastic eggs in the seat of a vehicle. Officers found four eggs and believed he had not placed the fifth."

Officers learned they were incorrect in their assumption when a man and his granddaughter turned the final egg into the department the next day, having also found it in a park, per the release. In total, officers said they recovered over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

So like $100-200 worth of weed? Unless it was like shake or something.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

In Northern California you can get a crappy ounce for $50, a good one for $100

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 minutes ago

Damn, that's cheap. In my part of the UK, $80 would get you a quarter ounce of what my peers consider to be decent, but would probably be crappy by California standards.

thank you for the economics lesson i was gettin ready

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 hours ago

Much less than that. I get an ounce for $100 from my dealer. And he’s competing with dispensaries, so it’s not shake, either.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 hours ago

A quarter oz is $40-$70 at dispensaries in my area (medical legal state)

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Paint greased pigs with the numbers 1,2 and 4. Release said pigs. Watch the hilarity ensue.

Guy was so high he planned it all in detail, then told everyone .... then later realized he hadn't done anything.
