A friend, here, some years ago, called us with a dilemma. Someone

obvious was the fact that the shipper hadn't wanted to *indicate*
its contents on the packing list!)


I don't remember if it was a novel or a movie, but I remember a plot line like
that. Maybe a Sue Grafton mystery.


It's actually a scary proposition! Finding it ON THE STREET
(or in a parking lot) would be a lead pipe cinch -- no real
ties back to *you*.

But, given our proximity to the border, it's awfully likely that
it was associated with something considerably less than legal.
