Drugs Only Users Lose Drugs

Dumb-criminal stories are older than God. Still, I will never tire of reading the endless variations on this theme:
Man reports missing cocaine, gets arrested for drug smuggling.
He had a good reason.
Carr’s downfall came when he contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Aug. 7 to report that he had lost 31 kilograms of cocaine he hid in some brush near the border. Carr allegedly wanted the ICE agents to issue a statement that they had seized the drugs so the people he worked for would not think he stole the goods and retaliate against him.
Still.
Put in the same situation, would you not do the same thing? Especially if you had easily-accessible relatives. If I couldn't get away and had thugs making comments about my frail mother or pretty little 13-year-old daughter, I'd beg the feds to issue that statement too.
Yeah, actually, when the question comes down to: jail time vs. you, your friends and family getting beaten and/or killed...
Of course, just cause he's in jail doesn't mean his friends and family aren't getting beaten and/or killed. But the likelihood is less.
Not dumb. A lotta years in prison sounds better than a Colombian necktie to me.
