Some Kid Accidentally Got $40,000 Worth Of Methamphetamines For His Birthday

STATESBORO, Ga. — A child was expecting a Lego set — but got $40,000 in methamphetamine instead, according to the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office.

Three women from Georgia found the box that appeared to be full of Lego bricks while on a trip to a consignment shop in Charleston, South Carolina, The Statesboro Herald reports.

They bought the box and decided to gift it to a child in Statesboro, Georgia.

When the child found three pounds of methamphetamine, the women contacted the sheriff’s office.

It’s unclear exactly how the consignment shop ended up with the drugs, but the sheriff’s office believes the box may have ended up at the shop after it was mailed to a wrong address.

Dealers sometimes ship drugs to abandoned homes, but mail carriers delivering to abandoned places will often leave the packages with neighbors.

Sometimes unclaimed packages are even auctioned off, “sort of like ‘Storage Wars,’” the sheriff’s office told the Herald.

No charges have been filed in the case as of Wednesday evening.

Stories like this make me wish I lived in the South because I feel like everyone just believes everything. Like some little kid ends up with 40 large of meth and it’s an accident because that’s easier paperwork to sort out. Love it.

The real thing I want to get to the bottom though is if you were a kid, would you rather have $40,000 worth of methamphetamine or $40,000 worth of legos?

I know everyone’s thinking Legos because it’s kids and kids love building shit, but have you ever done meth?

Me neither and this isn’t a blog about doing meth. I was just curious and we were on topic in a safe space. Anyways.

What’s wrong with some kid starting a lemonade stand but instead of selling lemonade, he’s selling meth? You can frown now but anyone with online MBA experience knows the value of Return on Investment and sees the opportunity here. Mix in lax juvi laws of the south and I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say there’s a market for minors in the methamphetamine distribution industry.

Actually tho let’s be serious because Child Labor isn’t funny and neither is the idea of little kids everywhere opening their own meth stands on street corners across America. I watched enough Breaking Bad to know about those turf wars.

At the same time $40,000 seems like a monumental waste so gun to my head I’ll take the legos but get something sweet like this $5,000 Millenium Falcon replica (to scale)
