[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1790370, member: 12508"] There were plenty of stations where drugs were shipped, stolen, and maneuvered. In the days before scanning, it was very easy to make a package "disappear" or to smuggle something through undetected. I know of one ring where the entire management team and over half the station had a huge drug operation going. The same district also had CTV drivers smuggling dope in the dromedaries (long gone), and/or gold. Gold used to be shipped as a "Poison" dissolved in cyanide and if you knew anything about chemistry, it wasn't hard to get the gold out of solution. Same with jewelry, and other expensive items. Large amounts of cash would often end-up with a courier. I knew of many who would routinely slit an envelope and/or repackage it to get at the contents. If the courier was dishonest, it would be very easy to steal. Federal Express Security sucked, and it usually took years to discover wrongdoing. They also wouldn't prosecute, because they didn't want the adverse publicity. My brother, a long-time cop, tipped me one time about my manager, who was the biggest coke dealer in the local area, which had over 1 million residents. Even though he made less than $40,000 (the early 80s), he drove several expensive cars and lived in a house that would require 10 times his salary. He eventually got busted. [/QUOTE]
