Not the brightest light in the room.

Story submitted by May from Utah:

"When Kory C. Tippetts, 18, returned home after work Monday evening, Jan. 30, 2006, he discovered someone had broken into his Orem home and stolen his marijuana. Tippetts, however, was going to get that marijuana back, even if it meant reporting his quarter-pound of illegal drugs to police, providing a possible suspect, and identifying the bag of weed in the presence of officers.

And that's exactly what he did.

It's "not very darn often" criminals such as Tippetts come along, stated Lt. Doug Edwards of the Orem Department of Public Safety. "Even the dumb criminals are generally smarter than this."

Hight was found to be in possession of six ounces of marijuana and arrested for burglary, theft, and possession of marijuana in a drug-free-zone with the intent to distribute."

Hey, at least dumb people make crime-fighting a wee bit easier in their neck of the woods. And did that copy really say "darn often"? I would have quoted that in my story too. Because that's darn awesome.
