Criminal Mastermind--NOT!



This article ran in Saturday's Omaha World-Herald. I am posting it in its entirety because there's no other way to explain it.

LINCOLN--Lincoln police report the rare occurrence of arresting a man who called them for help.

Officials say the 25-year-old man called police Wednesday night to say someone was trying to break into his apartment. When police arrived, they discovered it was the apartment manager trying to get into the apartment, which was supposed to be vacant.

Police say someone had illegally changed the locks on the apartment, and the man arrested was illegally occupying it.

Police also found more than three pounds of marijuana, equipment used to grow marijuana and nearly $3,500 in cash in the apartment. -- AP


Two questions: (1) Why hadn't the apartment manager called the police?
(2) Do you think, as I do, that the man who called the police
had been sampling his illegal wares?
