Police just happened to stumble upon 1,000 marijuana plants in an Oakland fortune cookie factory after the building caught on fire: "Sgt. Rich Vierra says the pot plants, valued at about $500,000, were not burned during Monday's fire in the former Kar Mee Fortune Cookie Factory in Oakland's Chinatown district." There's a "getting baked" joke in here somewhere. [AP via Eater National]
