Are you missing a mucho grande stash of pot? No, not that zip-lock that's under the passenger seat of your Pinto. More like a Hefty bag of chronic.

Someone left a cheeba-packed trash bag to be composted at the San Jose recycling center last week. (Oh, now you remember -- sure.)

The center is a repository for leaves, tree limbs and other natural material, but these leaves were turned over to the cops. It's unclear how much of the pot was of a high enough grade to be sold, and police say that it could have come from anywhere in Santa Clara County.

Questions raised: "Um, what happened to that mega-bag of weed that was in the garage?" " Dude, the only bag I can find is full of those twigs and branches you were going to send to the composter."

The Takeaway: If the guy at the mall with white-boy dreadlocks and a backpack of pornographic comic books is a little more ornery than usual -- you know why.
