According to a criminal complaint, cargo handlers stole about $200,000 worth of merchandise from packages whose contents were revealed in customs declarations. "The alleged stolen items include laptop computers, digital cameras, DVD players, video game consoles, DVDs, jewelry, clothing, paintball guns, gift cards, Hugo Boss bath products, Victoria's Secret merchandise and collector coins," the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California said in a statement. "According to the complaint, after items were stolen from packages, the suspects would then re-tape the package and send it on to Okinawa where the victims would discover the contents missing upon arrival." Okinawa is home to a major U.S. military base.Darn sleazy, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
