Drugs do bad things

    Small sideline in the Herald yesterday evening of a 19 year old Killiney guy up in court for drugs offence. He was on holiday in Thailand and what did he do only POST a block of hash (about a 1lb weight) to HIMSELF to HIS ADDRESS.

    The report in the paper says that he suffered a broken nose as he collapsed in shock when the gardai arrived to his door.

    Is there an equivalent Darwin awards for people who are "almost there" - what was he thinking.. Probably stoned when he thought it might be a good idea to post a stash home...

    posting home is a good idea I should think if you were to say use girlie handwriting on a greetings card to a non-existent female and maybe put a little something wrapped in cellaphane inside the badge saying "KISS ME IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!". That would be safe and have a 90% success rate at least as ther generally check 10% of parcels at most and probably never greetings card. just a thought i condemn mightily that sort of thing of course. Then maybe 1ib = a lot of birthday cards I guess.

    I know of an incident where a customs officer dressed up as a postie, knocked at the door and got a guy to sign for the package and once he had his signature to say it was him, arrested him.

    A bit of advice if you are sending stuff back, use a fictional name. If you know the postie well, tip him off, you could even use a fictional address on your estate e.g if your street runs up to number 58, address it to number 80 and have your postie in the know.

    Idiot. He could have got away with it if he claimed he had nothing to do with it. If it were that easy I could post drugs to somebody I didn't like and tip off the gardai.
