Musta been amateurs, if they couldn't hide the welds.... news item from Wednesday:Auto workers find hidden pot in gas tankWed Feb 21, 11:04 PM ET ST. PAUL, MN - A couple from Washington state faces charges after auto workers found more than 150 pounds of marijuana in their pickups jerry-rigged gas tank and alerted police."Their bad luck is their vehicle had some fuel problems and they ended up taking it into a Midas Shop," Bailey said.At the auto shop on the East Side, where the couple stopped Monday, mechanic Daniel Ries noticed the truck had a modified gas tank with fresh weld marks. When the two were told the tank needed to be replaced, they were "adamant" that the repair wasnt needed, Bailey said. Eventually, they relented but insisted that the pickups old tank be saved.Bailey credited Ries for recognizing something was suspicious. "Thats exactly what we need, because we dont have enough law enforcement to cover every corner," he said. "It was absolutely sharp thinking."Last edited by RichardWDF; 02-23-2007 at 02:00 PM.
