This photo quickly caught the attention of local authorities.

The Stone County Sheriff’s Office in Missouri said in a post on Facebook:


“Last night, one of our Stone County residents posted a catalytic converter for sale on Marketplace. Apparently, he must have been under the influence because, in the background of the picture he posted, he left his large bag of meth and syringe on the coffee table,” Sheriff Doug Rader said in the post published on 29 September.

According to Rader he was alerted to the post by a citizen and passed on the information to a detective.
