Well, my little development project has extended itself slightly, leaving me with even less free time… Still, when something like this story from Hong Kong comes along, it's good for a chuckle.
A group of smugglers have reportedly attempted to use a sewer pipe to smuggle mobile phones between Hong Kong and China.
The official news agency, China Daily reported that the Shenzhen Customs anti-smuggling force took action last month, capturing a gang leader, a truck driver, and five men working in the tunnel.About 900 mobile phones and 120,000 electronic chips, worth roughly US$200,000 were seized in the raid.
The smugglers allegedly rented an apartment only a few meters from the border.

“truck driver”. They drived truck in the sewers?! And I surprised that there is a sewers between China and Hong Kong. Why they don’t ruin them?

Smuggling cell phones into prisons would be a felony.
