How to Smuggle Drugs: The Stupid Way
Not that I know a whole lot about drug smuggling. I am however clever enough to not do what this guy did. According to Born Rich:
“A 30-something guy flew from Costa Rica to Fiumicino airport in Rome with a guitar (a black Squier Strat, with the label still on the scratch plate) and 10 thermos flasks in his luggage. The custom officials spotted white powder leaking out of the guitar that was tested positive for cocaine.”
Just how much is a guitar made of cocaine worth now-a-days…
$3,598,002. Holy!
This fellow got way too greedy. Not that I advocate cocaine smuggling but he may have been fine had he just carried smaller loads.
So, overall I think you should use that guitar for playing not toting.

Good thing Keith Richards didn’t get this guitar, he couldn’t play it for snorting away at it.

That’s crazy, but top this; in 1985 a Florida customs agent stopped a couple entering th US with a baby and found white powder leaking fron the lining of the baby’s diaper. The diaper was found to have 2 kilos of cocaine. I can’t imagine what would have happend if the baby soiled it….

At least the baby was alive, Paul. I’m sure you guys have heard the stories, so I’ll save it.

I wish I had that guitar! Could party for a LOOOOONG time and be the most popular guitar player on the block! lol
If the dipsh*t had sealed it up right, he probably would have got away with it. Thats a lot of yeyo to get caught with! Smuggling’s a mugs game!

i live in windsor ontario and the people in the states to smuggle to canada will go to the mall find an ontario license plate and follow them back into canada with the drugs taped under the canadians car, and once they stop the car they quickly grab there goods. good idea just dont loose the car

Why a guitar? Why not? Besides I don;t think that dude wanted to carry all that coke in is rectum.
Maybe if it was a real fender and not a squire they would have not been so suspicious. I just want to know how it was leaking out of it. He should have tried to pass it off as a really expensive guitar in a nice hardcase so no dings or dents could have pierced the shell.
