That’s another reason for ‘call the police’ IMO. I mean, I have no use for a bale of marijuana, huge or otherwise, but it seems to me that explaining its unexpected appearance in my car would be simpler than explaining why I took it home and now have a huge bale of marijuana in my house.
Marijahooney is some swell stuff and a whole bale of it is worth a not inconsiderable sum of money. One more reason for caution. Whoever actually owns that bale may well come looking for it. That owner might be a pleasant Tommy Chong-esque stoner or he might be very unpleasant indeed. I gather from your posting history that you are a frequent user, so it doesn’t sound like weed is ever in short supply for you. How much are you willing to complicate your life for a duffel bag full of cannabis?
What are the roaches looking for?
I do not see any complication, really. We live out in the middle of nowhere. I’d gradually burn up the evidence, a bit each evening. I’d discretely share with a few very close friends/relatives. My life would be no more complicated than it is now. Indeed, there’d be a reduction in the minimal risk entailed in purchasing an ounce or two every month.
Stop it!
If you say so. Here in glorious Beaver County, we’ve had people murdered over vastly less than a bale. Maybe your bale-level distributors are nicer than ours and more willing to just write off a quantity that large. Consider that they are going to remember where your car was when they placed the bale in it. A few discreet questions and maybe pay a store manager a few bucks cash to look at security video…Out in the sticks, in this case, seems like more of a disadvantage. You’re from an area, I bet, where “everybody knows everybody?”
In essence, although I understand the “free weed!” line of thinking, weed in that quantity is going to be of intense interest to its owner and to law enforcement. Hell, cops are so corrupt that there’ll probably be some of them helping the weed’s owner look for you.
My car’s always locked, so I’d assume I had a senior moment and forgot that I put it there. Imagine my surprise when I open it and find a bunch of stuff that isn’t mine. Something to talk about at my next doctor’s appointment, I guess…
If it’s something valuable (whether drugs, money, or rare collectible comic books), someone is going to miss it. Whoever misses it is going to want it back. Said person is going to either be nice, and probably call the cops, in which case if the truth comes out, they’re going to be asking you some awkward questions; or they’re going to be not-nice, and might take matters into their own hands, in which case you might end up wishing it was the cops asking those questions. And regardless of whether the owners are nice or not-nice, calling the cops is going to result in better outcomes for everyone involved.
Or, of course, it could be a bomb or a dead body or something. Again, the outcomes from calling the cops are all better than the outcomes from not calling the cops.
Or, most likely, it could all be the result of a totally innocent mistake, and it just contains dirty laundry or something… but even in this case, calling the cops still won’t hurt anything, and just might help.
Well, first i get over the shock of the fact that i have a car.
Now considering that any car that i might have probably wouldnt be manufactured after 1970, the trunk would be locked by default, and no fancy truck release button on the dash.
So no fool would accidentally put his laundry in my truck
And trust me, id know my own duffel bags, they have distinct unit labels on them.
So someone has put it there on purpose.
Now it gets even worse, unless the trunk lock has been popped which i would have noticed, they either have a copy of my keys or they have locksmith skills.
This is a bit more sophisticated than some street retard.
Duffle bag in truck is not an efficient means of blowing someone up.
C4 embedded with steel shot and a steel plate stuck to the drivers floorboard is, and much easier to conceal.
Only an idiot makes a bomb the size of a duffle bag to blow up 1 person in a car, and doubtful idiot can pick locks, and definitely would not have a copy of my keys.
So if its explosive, they want me to be the patsy and go someplace where they can blow up lots of people.
Yea sorry, Not happening, hey bomb squad go see the car parked in the empty field outside of town.
Only other things i can think of is a setup to frame me for something, or someone wants an unwitting delivery driver for a high risk delivery and has cased my motions and knows where i will be going and has arranged for a pickup at my destination.
Which probably will no longer be an uneventful drive.
So, what to do?
Hmmm
Cops? yea no, they might be in on it.
Drive to car wash, pull back seat and carefully cut said duffle bag open with a small scalpel (box knives suck for carefully cutting anything) and see what we are dealing with in said bag.
If its money, it’s a lot, a damned cigar box easily holds 40k in mixed bills.
And one would be very motivated to recover a duffle bag quantity of cash that goes AWOL and probably has long reaching connections.
Oh the other hand, you just broke into my car asshole.
Time to evaluate how much real life can mimic Hollywood.
Chances of keep money and living? (which will entail an adventure in itself)
If its something to use as a setup, well Houston, we have a problem.
Who to go to?
Probably no one, don’t know who is clean or dirty.
Definitely do not show up any place i am supposed to be.
Have to make magical duffle disappear…
Delivery?
Of what? Drugs? Money that needs laundering? something else?
Money see above.
Drugs? could also be setup, except no one uses a duffle bag full of merchandise as a setup except the cops.
Why? because only the cops are going to get the merchandise back.
Not interested in delivering it either way, except when it does not make it, someone is going to be upset and very motivated to recover it, so i have to become unseen.
Figure out whose idea this was and how to even things up.
Cant think of anything else off hand that needs a delivery patsy.
Sarin or VX or something perhaps but the mob cops and feds dont really go in for that thing, and jihad jimmy doesnt tend to pick locks so well, he usually just drives into stuff himself.
It’s just a coincidence I’ve goofed on your answers in two different threads. Yeah, coincidence, that’s it. 
No, really.
My trouble is more the odd shell-case here and there but ---- sometimes I figure its better to shoot craps. I’ve been screwed over by the cops a few times but that is what I keep a good lawyer handy for. I’ve also been royally assisted by the police. So all in all I just don’t even want to think about whats in the bag.
OK, so you had a trunk full of cocaine – but what was in the suitcase?
Me, I’d take it home and open it, if I hadn’t opened it right on the spot. If it were drugs or money I’d just sit on it for a while, and see if anyone came to claim it. Then if someone came for it, I’d hand it over and demand a storage fee of $100. If no one came for it, it’s mine to do with as I please. There is an infinitesimally small chance that it could be a bomb, and I’m willing to take that chance.
Demand a storage fee? If the owner tells you to go fuck yourself, then what?
I think you’re overestimating the value of a duffle bag full of weed. The fact that it’s in a duffle bag means it’s probably schwag/Mexican, worth maybe 1/4 the price of even cheap homegrown/designer weed grown in the US. (Maybe Jamaican back in the day.) The people who move duffle bags of cheap weed are mid level dudes, not Noriega:D types. They’d beat on the idiot who misplaced that much weed, but not kill him, wanting instead for him to work off his debt.
Someone moving chronic wouldn’t package and move in duffle bags, rather they’d move it with more care. Gallon zip locks, layered and half filling a brown paper bags is more typical. Great weed (kind bud/chronic/sensi/hydro) is handled with care. Rough handling knocks off crystals, making the product look bad.
IME, in my locale.
Sorry if I rambled, stoned off my ass. (my cite)
PS: I’ve been in Beaver County!
If you say so.
Then I introduce them to my little friend.
Well, since my Pickup has no trunk, I guess that I am driving my wife’s car. She may have put it there. She goes to garage sales fairly often. It could be anything.
What do I do? As usual when this happens, I would drive home & if I think about it, I will ask her about it.
If it appears in the bed of my pickup, again this is not unusual. Assuming that I am not in a huge hurry, I will look in it to see what we have. Otherwise, drive home & deal with it later.
No need to bother the cops with stuff I can handle. They have enough on their plates already.
Bombs? IEDs? What do you-all do that you worry about that happening to you?
For me it is more likely to be Jeep parts, or Jeep manuals, or any books & magazines, or motorcycle stuff, or just plain old rags. These are all things that I am well known for collecting. Well maybe not the rags so much. I hope!
Sounds like a gritty “One Day at a Time” reboot. I’d watch it.
Hump it or salute it . . . or both.
[What?]
WTF?? There’s a duffel bag back there!
I’d assume they’d found me. Burn my car, and take the next flight to Argentina to start a new life.
