Turns out there was a tank- a very nice job too. Professionally installed and covered in German carpet. Also turned out if was full of coke!

I had a US border officer take interest in my second tank once, poked around and checked out my extra gerry cans of veggie oil. His concern was whether or not beef products had been cooked in the oil... this was during the mad cow scare. He let me through though.
My second cousin did time in Texas. He was importing furniture from mexico, and it had "organic" stuffing.
