It was a mistake-they were storing the goods for a friend

They make laughing stocks of themselves allowing stories like this into the English language press. What amazing powers of detection to pick one building out of the hundreds where exactly the same thing is going on and making arrests.

Did they flip a Coin to decide which shop out of the several dozen doing exactly the same thing.???

Must be a Grant of Funds due from the USA & Australia to combat the sale of Fake goods. Need a bit of a show for the media and relative ambassadors.

Check the paper for dates each year...........Obviously a 'Crackdown' is needed.

I shouldnt really repeat this because it is not that well known ,but i have heard that "bribes" are paid to certain people so that you can sell this stuff ,i don't know if this is true or just a folk legend. but ,you never know.
