Fla. Sheriff Uses Facebook to Try to Find Owner of $2M in Pot
Misplaced anything lately? We’re not talking your run of the mill items like car keys or a cellphone. What about a $2 million load of pot?
According to a Facebook post Wednesday from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, someone has misplaced 770 pounds of marijuana and the agency is actively seeking the rightful owner.
The cheeky post — with the headline “Brevard County Sheriff’s Office is attempting to return lost items” — also contains a picture of the gigantic stash that was reportedly seized from a storage unit in Viera, Florida.
“If you happened to have lost or misplaced approximately 770 pounds of high grade marijuana and would like to have your property returned, please contact our Narcotics Agents and we will be more than happy to reunite you with your lost property!!” reads the caption.
If the weed does indeed belong to you, the BCSO encourages you to head on down to the Criminal Investigative Services building in Rockledge and “claim your property with absolutely no strings attached.”
“Once we properly identify you as the rightful owner we will gladly return your property and also make sure that both you and your property are kept in a secure area so that no one can try to rip you off!!” concludes the caption.
Dripping with sarcasm, the agency’s post has since gained quite a bit of attention, with many commenters weighing with plenty of laughing face emojis and jokes of their own:
“No strings. We call those handcuffs. Good job, BCSO.”
“Did you find all that in a kid’s Halloween candy?”
“Best laugh I’ve had reading something in a long time.”
