Heuss filed a police report and then met his friends to drown his sorrows, Ludlow reported. One of his friends came up with an idea to contact the thieves. "He said 'I'm going to text these guys, I'm going to blow some smoke their way,'" Heuss said. "He said. 'I'm going to tell them I've got a bunch of hot chicks, as if I'm texting you, and that we've got some drugs, too.'"

Of course, I wonder if it would've just been easier to get a triangulation on the cell phone? Though this was probably quicker. And much more hilarious.

That's awesome. Just awesome. I'd have LOVED to see the faces of those schmucks when the cops showed up.

Outstanding recovery work!

Can we predict the defense lawyer calling it entrapment?...or maybe seeking dismissal because there were no broads and drugs to be had?

Speaking of hijacking, I heard the pirates off the Somali coast got their ransom money and were in a skiff for shore when some competitor pirates chased them and their skiff capsized and 4 pirates drowned. So sad. <g>
