One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was in France (in Marseilles) my girlfriend's Ipad got stolen in a bus
As a true gentleman I've tried to do everything possible to solve the problem. So I asked police officers to help us (we use iphone finder to track down the Ipad).
They replied: "no problem" and so our short journey began. While moving on the address , I've noticed some small aluminum box which they were passing each other (2 guys were sitting front seats and a girl was on the back seat with me and my gf). So they were passing this box and once the police-girl opened it I saw.... a marijuana there :D
I guess my rounded eyes were speaking louder than any words especially when she offered some for us
I wanted to say "sure", but then I pictured myself in a French prison and replied "no, thank you". That was weird...LOL

Well, after this awkward moment we asked if they will come with us on the address, but they said "no" and recommended us not to go either. As it was some kind of ghetto in the city, where we could be easily *runs a finger over her throat*..
But 18year old russing stupid kids don't afraid of anything so we asked to drop us out of the car and continued the journey on our feet.
When getting there we met around 10-12 kids of different age and one was russian-speaking (we didn't know french well so he translated for us) - he was a funny 13y old boy from former USSR republic :)
They showed us 2 places on the street where you buy and sell some stolen things. But it didn't help :(
Guys in shops replied that they didn't see aything and that was it. We took a bus a bit later and got to our hotel

That's it folks :D
