Pop quiz, hotshot. What’s dumber than calling the local cops to ask if they have seen your stash of cocaine? How about calling federal drug enforcement officials to ask if they’ve seen your cocaine AFTER they’ve already let you go?

According to the Associated Press, that’s just what a man suspected of drug trafficking around the Canadian border did.

Here’s how it went down: Leroy Carr had been caught four times crossing the border down a known drug-smuggling trail with a GPS tracker, night vision goggles and a buttload of cash. He claims he got the money by switching his car insurance to Geico.

ICE agents wanted to talk to him but he refused, so they let him go. Then he calls them back and asks if they had seen his cocaine. He apparently stashed 68 pounds of the stuff at a Boy Scout camp and they disappeared. I’m guess ICE never found the cocaine, but somewhere there’s a group of Tenderfoots who’ve earned every merit badge in the handbook in 15 minutes.

He even asked if ICE could issue a press release saying ICE had seized the drugs so his higher-ups wouldn’t believe he snatched it. They did and they also included a note that they arrested Carr for possession with intent to distribute.
