Dumb ------ Jason Robertson, 26, and Thomas Valliere, 24, two traveling Canadians had been doing a bit of drinking when they decided to buy some cocaine to liven up their island vacation. Having gotten a number from a local, Jason called, only to be told it was the wrong number. Not one to give up easily Jason called the number again insisting it was correct and that he wanted to buy some cocaine. Unfortunately for Roberston the number he had called (twice) was to the cell phone of Jeff Jackson, deputy chief of the combined Police and Customs Drugs Task Force for the Cayman Islands. After the second call an undercover policeman telephoned Robertson back to set up the sale. When he met the pair and handed over the cocaine - actually nondairy coffee creamer -- police swooped in. Robertson and Valliere were fined $1,000 but since they had failed to actually buy cocaine, they were not charged with possession. And Dumber ---------- According to the Times of London, thieves who ransacked the offices of Games and Puzzles, a British publication, bagged several hundred thousand pounds in cold cash. All of it, however, was in Monopoly money.
