As stupid as it gets
Coming back from lunch at work, a group of us found a long kitchen knife, covered in blood. It was just off the pavement in someone's front flowerbed, in a nice respectable area.

One of us rang up the local plod, thinking it could be evidence in a possible stabbing. After half an hour a PCSO turns up in a Ford KA asking where the knife is. We point to it, so he bends down and picks it up...

Actually, that's not such bad practice.
When it comes to taking prints, his could be seen and eliminated. Had he used a cloth or something, there's a chance he'd've removed others' prints.

What if it was him that done it..
And that's what he WANTED to happen. Ha!

Or, he could have just left it there and put tape around the area to stop anyone else falling over it before the real police turn up.

If it was good practice, I imagine it was by accident.
He did then drop it again afterwards and call the proper plod.
