Today's award goes to the police in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales.
AFTER seizing a bumper crop of cannabis, detectives were making the most of their triumph.
They boasted about the £300,000 [just over US $500,000] capture in a blaze of publicity and posed for photos with some of the 1,000 plants in the haul.
However, while police were relishing the moment at the front of the drugs factory, thieves were busy at the back.
They broke in and started stuffing the cannabis into black bin bags to be loaded into a waiting van.
A neighbour, who was clearly somewhat more vigilant than the officers on the scene, noticed what was happening and raised the alarm.
But, by then, an estimated £15,000 [about US $25,000] of cannabis plants had been stolen.
An insider at South Wales Police said: 'There are a few red faces around.'

"A few red faces"? No s***, Sherlock!
