SAANICH, British Columbia (AP) -- A man who complained to police that
the marijuana he was growing at home had been stolen may be wishing
the thieves had not left some of his stash behind.

Police said the 32-year-old man was arrested early Monday when they
found marijuana at his home in this Victoria suburb. He was released
on a promise to appear in court in about six weeks.

Police said the man called after returning home about midnight Sunday
night and told officers his indoor pot-growing operation had been
taken.

"It's surprising what some people will report to police," Royal
Canadian Mounted Police Constable Peter Lane said Monday.

***Hi Jeff,

I always used to love it when there was a line item on the 1099 form
for "stolen and embezzled" funds to report as taxable income.

I wonder how many people actually ever reported something on that
line... Probably some, I'd bet.

I think when they revised the form they finall dropped that line...

Right, well that's how they got the gangsters, for not
reporting taxes on illegal income.

I lot I think. They do not turn the info to the authorities,
they just want to make sure they get their cut of your income
from your extortion rackets, your protection money, kidnapping
ransoms and cars stolen and driven to Canada to be
refurbished.

Just file it under miscellaneous taxable income and you'll be
fine.
