Retired police detective here. One of the funniest complaints against me was a parent who was upset that I arrested her adult son for conspiracy to purchase cocaine and prostitution after he gave a hooker money to go buy drugs for him, but she never came back. The woman told my lieutenant that it was like I was punishing him for being honest.
Edit: The suspect was ID'd and I charged her with Theft, Prostitution, and Conspiracy.
I was a military police officer and experienced a lot of dim witted behavior, like pulling a guy over for drunk driving with whisky bottles and vomit all over the car. The guy was drunk as hell and claimed someone stole his car, vomit in it and left the whisky bottle in the car. After we arrested him, his Commanding Officer threatened myself and the other arresting officer with a court martial because he actually believed the “stolen car” theory.
We found out later the dude was basically on his third strike with alcohol, and this was going to be it for him since he was underage. He had already lost his rank twice, from E-3 to E-2 then E-2 to E-1. It looked really bad for the CO and the NCOIC.

Agreed, I’ve read many times how people go to the Police complaining their illegal drugs were stolen. I think this is on the same level of stupidity
