In December 2012, in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, Mack Reed was preparing to install solar panels at his residence and while opening up an underground access vault for an inspector, he made a discovery that would make Cheech and Chong jealous!
Reed and the inspector found an army-green bag stuffed with approximately $175,000 worth of marijuana and hash! The bag was filled with 60 jars, bags and packages of all varieties of the herb.
Realizing that whomever left the stash there could return at any time, Reed called the LAPD but was told by the operator that everyone in his district was “out on an emergency." The dispatcher then asked Reed if he could drive the bag to the station himself! As Reed, a former reporter for the LA Times said in his blog about the ordeal, he responded with, “Yeah, uhhh … I don't think driving around with 20 pounds of drugs in my car is really a good idea.” A supervisor was sent out to investigate.
When Sgt. Adrienne Legaspi arrived, Reed asked the sergeant how this could have happened. Legaspi asked if he ever made any posts on Facebook when leaves town. Reed, realizing his error, responded that he “might have posted a photo from the Grand Canyon over the Thanksgiving weekend."
Legaspi suggested that Reed remove the hatch doors completely, and show the bag's owner that his secret has been found out, but he came up with a different approach.
Fearing his kids or gardener would fall into the vault, he instead left a note. It read: “We found it and called the LAPD. They confiscated it and now are watching the place. Sorry.”
