美国加州棕榈泉市富人区的居民迈尔斯日前报警捉贼。但是，警察到达后并没有发现窃贼踪影，却在他家中发现私藏的大量毒品，因此警方将其逮捕。

    据美联社日前报道，棕榈泉市警方发言人约翰·布斯说，当时迈尔斯说有人正试图打开其住宅的窗户。闻讯而来的警员并未在报警人的住宅外面发现任何窃贼的踪影，他们随即要求进入房间内部一探究竟。令人意想不到的是，警察发现迈尔斯在自家车库里种植了大量大麻，并将收获下来的大麻放置在卧室内的几个大储藏柜中，其中一些还被特地塞进了密闭的大塑料袋里，毒品总价值超过10万美元。除此之外还有一些注射器针管。

    迈尔斯的住宅就坐落在该地区邻里互助治安协会的旁边，但邻居们却表示，他们平时并没有觉察到在这所房子里发生过什么异常情况。迈尔斯因为持有用于销售目的的大麻已被警方拘禁，其保释金将达2.5万美元。

    In retrospect, it probably wasn't such a good idea to call the police. Ronald Meyers summoned officers to his home in an upscale neighborhood Thursday morning, claiming that someone was trying to open his windows and that he could hear voices outside.

    Responding officers found no burglar but asked if they could check inside, said Sgt. John Booth, a Palm Springs police spokesman. When Meyers, 59, let them in, officers allegedly found more than $100,000 worth of marijuana, he said.

    The alleged stash included an 8-foot-tall pot plant, more plants growing in the garage and harvested marijuana — some packed into large closeable plastic bags — stuffed in large storage bins in a bedroom, Booth said.

    Officers also allegedly found syringes, at least one methamphetamine pipe and other drug paraphernalia, he said.

    Meyers was jailed for possession of marijuana for sale with bail set at $25,000, he said.

    His neighbors said they were unaware of anything unusual going on inside the house, which sits near signs for the area's Neighborhood Watch Association.
