How to succinctly handle this situation. I'm not properly releasing contactDictionary in the if statement...

    NSNumber *pIDAsNumber;
     ...        
    NSMutableDictionary *contactDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:[defaults dictionaryForKey:kContactDictionary]];
    if (!contactDictionary) {
            contactDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity:1];
    }
    [contactDictionary setObject:pIDAsNumber forKey:[myClass.personIDAsNumber stringValue]];
    [defaults setObject:contactDictionary forKey:kContactDictionary];
