I'll kick it off

back in the early 70's was working with a few friends running cigarette boats out of Freeport Bahamas to mother ships.
it was fun work and paid, dam well an the parties we had.

anyway , i flew back to Miami for a weekend and forgot about the few grams i had stashed in my wallet,
first time they ever checked my wallet, yep,
took off to a room and the head inspector came in and asked me what i was doing with the grams, told him it was a left over.
As he knew all of us, including my sister who danced at the show at resorts international, he took it from me and smiled.

got many more if this thread gets feedback

sitting around our beach front house's in Bang Lamung outside pattaya in 1985 with an Ozzie friend, wondering what we should do as we were taking a short break from "working" in HK.
hey lets fly up to Ktm an grab a few keys and take them to Sydney

Sure why not, flew up, got in touch with my Managi friends and brought 5 keys for $2,000
2 for me, 3 for him;
Our route was Ktm- bangkok- Manila-Sydney. At the time it was $100/key to take them thru customs in Ktm.
all went well landing in bangkok, spent a few days at home an back to Don Meung for the flight to manila
few days hanging around than off to the airport
no problems for me and headed to his parents house where we were to meet.

there he told me his story,
seems he was stopped going thru the metal detector. and yep patted him down and off to the office,
took off the 3 keys and the discussion began, they wanted $2,000/key to let him thru, He told them he didn't have it,
a stalemate, So he said, look, keep 2 and let me take the 1 and i'll come back and pay ya for the 2.
so off he went. Seemed good to them.
he never went back ( surprise)
anyway
not a bad 10 days profit , ( sold for $10 grand each)
