When it comes to cover ups, we have to say that there are those stories that really get us thinking about what these people think was going to happen. And, sadly, when it comes to corruption, it is all about the under-handedness and the missing money or worse...
As much as we have those people in law enforcement who are trying to clean up the streets, criminals are becoming more and more creative in their approach to crime. This places a bigger responsibility on the law to be on the ball and in the mix all the time.
On that note, the police recently made a discovery that was definitely not a pumpkin patch affair, it was in fact a cabbage cover up of 'mountain cabbage'. In case you didn't know one of the many slang words for Marijuana, 'mountain cabbage' is one of them.

There were bags of marijuana hidden under the cabbages and the suspects were to appear in court this week. This got us thinking about innocent but troublesome things that get people into trouble when it comes to covering things up...
For instance, those times that we heard of friends sneaking in their own snacks to the movies, or filling up their bags at the 'all you can eat buffet'. Did you ever get into trouble over hiding something you shouldn't have had in the first place?
