Police in the Netherlands encountered some evidence that's like something ripped out of Dr. Doofenschmirtz's backstory with all the lawn gnomes.
Except, this wasn't your garden-variety gnome, made to protect the family home against witches and evil spirits.
It was made for much worse things. The gnome was a solid 4 lbs of 100% MDMA, which is the main component of the street drug ecstasy.
While the Netherlands is infamous for legalizing a lot of drugs, ecstasy isn't one of them. Oddly enough, the Netherlands is also the leading producer of ecstasy.
Anyways, on a recent drug bust, Dutch police found the lawn gnome sitting among a pile of other drugs.
'Drugs appear in many shapes and sizes, but every now and then we come across special things,' Dongemond Police said.
'It was a strange place to keep your garden gnome. Therefore, we decided to test [it] for narcotics.'
It's a good thing they tested it too.
Imagine how wild the neighborhood animal party would have gotten if one of the cops had just stuck it out in the yard.
It is not the first time someone has attempted to hide the drug in inconspicuous guises.
Last year, a Scottish man was jailed for more than four years for trying to smuggle over £84,000 worth of MDMA that was hidden in cat food into the country.
A Leeds man was also previously charged over a plot to smuggle 90kg (198lb) of the drug into the UK hidden inside pallets of frozen chicken.
Who says drugs don't aid in creativity?
(For real though, don't do drugs, kids.)
