Why do drug smugglers use Chrysler’s patented Stow ‘N Go storage system to smuggle $100k worth of marijuana across the Mexican border? Because they can. Or, because Wieden + Kennedy have another Caravan ad to make. But this is hardly the most entertaining shot from the LA Times’ gallery of “Bizarre Border Busts” [Hat Tip: Richard Chen]. No, you’ll have to hit the jump for that one…

I checked the whole gallery, bizarre indeed.
It reminds me one story a Guardia Nacional officer told me 2 years ago about how stoled cars were taken to the neighborgh country. In the border, there were trucks carrying coal from the other country, but they went back empty… the thieves hid the cars in the open trailer, until they detected it in one inspection.
They put mirrors in the tops of the border stations.
The stealing cars, mirror on the ceiling story reminds me of two more:
– a country song about a guy’s father that stole a Cadillac from the factory one piece at a time…
– a guy who wheeled-out the same wheelbarrow from the factory from time to time … the evening guard shift thought he was taking dirt … they never checked with the morning guard shift to see how he came in … without a wheelbarrow … dude was rippin’ off wheelbarrows…
I bet the Israelis have some interesting border-bust stories to tell too…
The border that separates both Koreas must be interesting too.
That would be “One Piece at a Time” by Johnny Cash

The moniker for the Mexican otpion is “Stow yer Blow”.
+1 Good one, LOL.
Stoned ‘N Go?
Excuse me sir, I said “Please be seated.” Not “Please be seat.”
#10. Ford Super Duty w/ bales of weed in the back.
“Ford Super Duty:
– Bringin’ home the bacon!”
– Payload Re-defined!”
– preferred by 4 out of 5 DEA agents!”
BTW, one of the photos, perhaps #5, says woman behind side-panel … this is incorrect … look again, and you will see she was concealed between the IP and the firewall! (note the shifter in lower left of photo.)

Apparently not such a good idea since they got busted. (Wouldn’t this be easy for a drug sniffing dog to locate?)
That was my first thought as well.
Because they can.
Click the link. In this context, it all suddenly makes sense.
What’s up with all that “Why do birds sing in the morning?” hooey?
“Because they can” is not the answer to the question above, it’s the punchline to the old joke: “Why do dogs lick their balls?”
Ed,
I like this one better:
