Thai Car Loaded with Amphetamines Auctioned by Police
Thai officials accidentally auction off car loaded with amphetamine
1 hour ago
Thailand's anti-drugs authority has apologised after it accidentally auctioned off a car hiding tens of thousands of amphetamine tablets.
A buyer paid 586,000 baht ($19,000; £14,500) for the Honda CR-V car, which was put up for auction this month after being seized in a drugs case last year.
But when it was sent to a garage for alterations, a mechanic discovered 94,000 pills stashed in its bumper.
Officials said they would conduct more thorough searches in future.
"According to protocols, we search every vehicle we have received and this case was no exception. However, we couldn't find anything at the time, perhaps because the pills had been well hidden," said Niyom Termsrisuk, secretary general of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), according to the Bangkok Post.

The car is certainly more valuable with the load of amphetamines than without.

Is that what they meant they bragged about it's 'top speed'?
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.
