<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 15058, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Border may be unfended but not policed. I went on a spending spree at yard sales in Canada one fall. I rented the car from a company in NYC called Rent-a-wreck. It was cheap since the cars are all banged up and looks like hell. Any way coming back over the border I was stopped because the entire car was packed with newspapered bundles and boxes of stuff all the way to the roof in the back. I am sure they thought I was a crazy hoarder. As the car was being prodded they discovered my leather raincoat was lined with fur (coyote) and they questioned me about where I got it, why I was not declaring it and then they assumed I stole it. I showed them the label and my initials sewen into the coat. It was Bloomingdales. Then they decided I was rich and trying to get away with something. As they went through more wrapped bundles, there would be maybe three saucers and a book and a few coins. After a half hour of nonsense they decided that I was crazy and let me through.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
