So, TERRORISTS BEWARE!! The British Police Are After You...

... except they have no evidence against you, because they accidentally left it sitting in the middle of the friggin' road, where it (big surprise) disappeared.



The best part? This isn't the first time this has happened:

It is not the first time British authorities have mislaid sensitive documents. In December 2004, a file detailing police plans to protect visiting Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf was found by a passer-by in a London street.



That July, a dossier detailing anti-terrorism plans for Heathrow airport was found at the side of a road a few hundred metres from the airport.



In 2000, an agent from the MI6 spy agency left a laptop computer in a taxi after a night drinking at a tapas bar.
Damn right, security against terrorists is a real concern for us! Ever wonder how much of the information leaked to the terrorists about our intelligence operations is due to our own mistakes, and how much is because of sharing it with people who do this kind of thing?
