Gear got snagged

IronD · Apr 21, 2006

I know of a couple guys in the Boston area that had their gear brought to their house by the state police and postal inspector. Has anyone else heard of the local law cracking down in their area, and should I hold of from ordering??

Thank you!

Unfortunatly, I'm hearing more and more about these incidences on the boards. But, you didn't say what source they used, was it one of the good sources that we see on the major boards or was it from some fly by night organization.

not sure who but

By a source they have been using for a few years.

There's no rhyme or reason to it. Some have suggested shipping to a small town increases the chances of a visit when compared to a metro area. The thinking being the metro areas are too busy to worry about gear...

To be safe, I'd keep the orders small. Big orders will increase the chances of a visit.

Best,

Hmmm i wonder if all these increased Boston area seizures/visits are in some ways connected to the beginning of the baseball season and all that subsiquent talk of steriods in sports.

Very possible since it's back in the press lately. I get weary of international as the chances for things like this happening are greater. Also, it's best not to have it shipped to your home.
