Two crimes for the price of one!
When I was at university a friend of mine fancied himself as the local dope merchant. He carried around a little bag full of twists of clingfilm containing lumps of resin and made himself quite a tidy sum of money.

By his third and final year he decided to really clean up, and set up an excellent deal with the Leeds mafia or whoever it was in charge of that sort of thing. They would supply him with a family-sized amount of cannabis resin at a really good price - discount for quantity, as it were.

In order to maximise the killing he was going to make, he got out the maximum student loan he could, put in all his savings from the previous years and borrowed from here and there with promises of great returns. And off he went to the rendezvous.

The mafia boys met him in the appointed alleyway, counted the money, and told him "Thanks. Now fuck off". And drove away.

Poor chap was quite upset about it. We did suggest that he call the police but for some reason he didn't think this was a very good idea.
