ADELAIDE, Australia -- What a dopey call. Police on Tuesday arrested a man who phoned officers to report thieves breaking into his house to steal his illicit cannabis crop.

Police in the southern city of Adelaide said they arrested four men early Tuesday as they tried to steal the plants, which were being grown in two rooms at the home.

They also nabbed the homeowner who made the call -- on charges of illegally cultivating 16 cannabis plants.

3. Ummm... story isn't as funny as the US media thinks.

It's legal to grow 2 (I think) plants in South Australia as long as they're for personal use. The guy's crime was that he had too many plants.

5. Interesting law

Kinda hard to say you're "helping blow up buildings" if you plant them yourself, huh?

6. I knew a guy in the ARmy whose brother called the cops on him

for stealing a VCR from the older brother. Problem was when the cops showed up to answer the call the inside of the older brother's apartment looked like Circuit City. See the younger brother and he stole things and stored them in the older brother's apartment. The older one got 2 years and the younger one went to Juvey.
