Well, we got busted coming back over with quite a few goods last weekend and i just wanted to share my story so i could help keep others from getting busted in the same way. We were supposed to be in and out in under 3 hours and happily headed back to the states. We bought all our stuff with the awesome prices we usually get, and then we bought our cover up crap to declare at the border. When the agent asked us what we were doing we simply said we came down, had some beers, went to a few strip clubs, etc. He did his run down, opened the trunk, the back, checked under the car with mirrors, found nothing. But he was very on to us. He made us pull in to the search section. They had us pop the trunk, and we got out and waited. They searched for a good 10 minutes, still having not found our juice. They were getting frustrated so they had us empty our pockets. Unfortunately, my buddy had a receipt for all the goods in his wallet. They pulled him aside and grilled him. He eventually admitted to it, but i didn't know that. So they take me aside and ask me, and i come off as the biggest idiot ever, "Drugs? What Drugs? I Dont do Drugs." etc. So they pull us inside and my friend shows them where it is in the car, and as hes going out there i confess at the perfect time to make it look like im coming clean, even though im talking to an agent who's back is turned to the window where the whole scene is taking place. As i confess, 2 seconds later they radio in to say they found it, and i saved some face. So they throw is in a holding room, and give us the whole spiel on impounding my car, felony charges, scare tactics basically. Then they come in a half and hour later and give us a 500$ paid over 90 days option. Of course we agreed. Then he decided on seeing how much cash we had on hand. We had like 100, but he wanted 200, so he had me walk to an ATM. So he basically pocketed our 200$ and let us go. That's not the worst part. We lost our summer cycles, and our rock bottom prices, that's something you just can't get back. We were extremely lucky to come out so clean, however, and im very thankful for that. Be careful everyone. By the way they were extremely steroid illiterate, they thought norandren was the new date rape drug, and they didn't even know what kind of stuff it was after looking at the whole load. But please be careful.

Where did u store?
Plus they offered him/us leniency if we just admitted, so we figured it was better than option #2, which was an impounded car, and a trip home the next day on a government bus. I also really did not want my car stripped. As far as money goes, i figure with expenditures, we were nearly a grand in the hole after last weekend. It's a good thing that guy was crooked, or i would have paid the full 500.
