Free Unopened Children’s Cold Medicine – $200 Value


27 New, Unopened Children’s Cold Medicine Items. Bought, but never used. Approx $200 value.
Coldcalm x 7
Oscillococcinum x 4
Sore Throat x 2
Cold Cure x 4
Chestal x 6
Multi Cold x 4
Pick up near Crescent st subway station (J Line). The first person to confirm a time to pick up today will get these items. I will leave outside behind fence at the agreed time.
Please, if you say you will come and get them, turn up. No timewasters.

Translation: the idiot we paid to steal cold medicine for us didn’t realize that you can’t use these to make meth. We don’t want to be caught with them, so we’ll leave them for you outdoors near a subway stop so we can make a quick getaway.

A question, though: if you’re just leaving them by a fence, how is that wasting your time if someone doesn’t show up? I mean, it’s not like you have to go rooting through a bush to leave them; you just drop them by the fence and go on your perfectly normal, non-meth-addled way.

      Try as I might, I cannot come up with any semblance of a “back story” for this that is not equal parts sordid, stupid, inane, Sparkish, tragic and the like. Every time one such suggested itself, there was a twist back to awful again.

      So far, the least soul-crushing I can cleave to is “disposing of stolen items.” Sadly, even that goes sordid rather than innocent. Mostly for the “I’m dumping this at the fence and bolting part.”
