More than a thousand Facebook users shared a post from Macedonia police Tuesday to get the word out to the owner of some lost property: a bag of crystal meth.
“To the person or person(s) who left all his/her small baggies in the garbage can at a certain Highland Road hotel,” the police wrote in the social media post. “In your haste to throw them away, you also tossed your baggy of crystal meth!”
The post was accompanied by two pictures of methamphetamine in a plastic zip bag.
“We are sure this was done as an accident, and the PD feels horrible for your loss,” they said. “Please contact us at 330-468-1234 or, better yet, come in and see us.”
The post was shared by Facebook users more than 5,200 times by evening.
“We all know the emptiness inside when we lose something so valuable. We also know the feeling of relief when that lost item is found,” police said in the post. “Come on in and let us make your day!”
Officers said they hope the owner stops by.
“If they do, we have a set of lovely bracelets as a parting gift,” police wrote.
The Macedonia police department is at 9691 Valley View Road.
