Definately a safer trade to rob then to deal dope, for these colombian criminal scum...they should rot for 10 years in a Thai jail to serve as a deterrent to all the others waiting for their turn back home  in Medelin.

Probably in a container on a deck somewhere at sea.  Four or five years ago, a Colombian gang; maybe the same gang, was busted and a container about to be loaded onto a ship in Lam Chabang was seized and  opened.  Stuffed inside were all sorts of household goods, kitchen appliances, linens, decorative objects...like a huge yard sale.  Apparently, goods like this sell for a lot of money in Colombia, even though used.
