Courtney Pickering of Calgary, Canada was thrilled that police retrieved her stolen car but surprised to find a bag of cocaine, crack pipe, knife, lead pipe, and a gun that the thieves left inside.

“I’m trying to make enough noise so that hopefully maybe it’ll affect that one officer or even anyone in their day-to-day operations,” Pickering told The Star. “Think of the tax dollars that could’ve been saved if they had just given it 10 minutes more than they did.”
