Back in the day, we used to borrow the use of a UPS truck and one of our agents would don the uniform and drive the truck so that we could deliver quantities of morphine, heroin or cocaine, (which had been discovered within shipments), to unsuspecting traffickers who were unaware that their consignments had been compromised.

Then we'd give them enough time to get into their parcels before taking the door and ruining their day.

It was so much fun. And we got paid to do it, too.

Glad I was able to return the favor. LOL.

I remember being involved in more than a few myself over the years, drugs & class 3 weapons were the most popular back then. The 80s & early 90s seemed to be a free for all at times. Would have loved to have crossed paths with you back in the day.

Anybody looking for a reasonably priced set of bluetooth headphones for themselves or as a gift, I've been pretty impressed with these. I picked up a pair recently for use with my iPhone and they pair easily, have good sound and get a top buy from Wirecutter for under $100 cans. They're currently $45 at amazon and that's a few bucks under what I paid recently. (Since they are not a site supporter, no direct link supplied, but this the info)

Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones.​


They will play for 60 hours on a charge if you turn off noise cancelling, or 40 hours with cancelling on. Comes with the charging cable with mini USB jack.

Thanks for the tip! Picked some up.

Don’t let the washed every day outside clean look fool you, in the back of those package cars it was disgustingly filthy back in those days. I can just imagine how dirty, hot, and/or cold that ride and wait in the back would have been for those guys, especially a loaner package car 🤮.

That's not how we did it. We had one guy who was vetted by UPS for driving the truck, and who was supplied the uniform.

We were already set up on surveillance of the location in question with our vehicles...except for whoever had to follow the truck to make sure our guy wasn't ripped off enroute.

Then once the delivery was made...fun and games would ensue.

This was down in Miami back in the "Miami Vice" days...to put a time frame on it. Latish 80's through early to mid 90's.

That sounds much more like it, seen it done that way most always. Thank goodness you weren’t holed up in the back of one of those trucks down in Miami’s heat.

Trust me, I spent some time holed up in places that were less than ideal over the years. It all worked out, fortunately. LOL.

When you're young and dumb, it's all fun and games. Later on you think back and say "that was pretty cool...but I don't think I'd do that now".


ETA: I think I'd better quit now before I raise the ire of one of the denizens...who can get a bit touchy when I yap too much.
 
I installed a bidet for the little lady today. I then stepped back to admire my work and check functionality when done. While my pants may have been on at the time, I can confirm it's aimed correctly for male or female use.














Edit-I sprayed myself in the junk while standing in front of it fully clothed.
