Stoner with a Flashlight

posted by on October 3 at 15:03 PM

Two weeks ago, Q13 ran this story about $25,000 worth of medical marijuana being stolen from an alternative health clinic…

SEATTLE, Wash. — A burglar is caught on surveillance cameras stealing $25,000 worth of medical marijuana from a Seattle alternative healing center. The burglary happened last weekend at the Emerald Cross Clinic. Police say the suspect got in and out of the clinic through a rooftop cooking vent. Emerald Cross Director Sue Watson says she is very suspicious of this crime, because only patients and volunteers know where the leafy meds are kept. “The thing is, it had to be someone that knew, to know to drop down into this space here,” said Watson…

Slog Tipper Jim just sent in a link to a the surveillance video. Here tis.

Wow...right up to the camera. You'd think that they'd be able to identify the patient and/or volunteer with this clear a shot. I guess it's pretty hard to distinguish facial features when you're stoned out of your gourd and your eyelids only open a maximum of 2 mm. My guess is the girl from the Blair Witch Project. Yes, this is a guy...with glasses...but, like any stoner, I think it's just part of the conspiracy.

"You'd think that they'd be able to identify the patient and/or volunteer with this clear a shot."

That's assuming it was a patient of volunteer who committed the robbery.

Please be sure to let us know if Mr. Mudede "accidentally discovers" a big ole' bag-o'-weed, "just lying on the sidewalk" again.
