Not sure whether it's the incompetent authorities stepping up their efforts, an increase in the volume of gear currently being shifted through the country, or possibly me just noticing it more, but has there been a rise in busts and volumes recently?

My biggest fear is that all that busted gear will return to the streets instead of beeing destroyed.

The use of the word, "gear" identifies you as someone in the know.
