50 pounds of cocaine found in abandoned suitcase February 2, 2006 - sanfranciscosentinel.com
SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (BCN) - An unusual lost luggage item -- an abandoned suitcase containing close to 50 pounds of cocaine -- represents the largest single seizure of cocaine ever at San Francisco International Airport, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials reported today.
The suitcase turned up in the international terminal on Jan. 12. Investigators are not commenting on what it looks like, where it might have come from or who might have brought it into the United States, Virginia Kice, an ICE spokeswoman, said.
"We have an open and ongoing investigation so we're not talking a lot about it,'' Kice said.
The Bay Area street value of the 22 kilograms of cocaine would probably be about $2 million, although that figure would vary depending on the drug's purity and country of origin, said Casey McEnry, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
Cocaine brought into the U.S. from overseas is unlikely to have been adulterated, so anyone selling it here could increase their profits and the drug's cost by adding other substances to it, McEnry said.
"I would be quite surprised if someone shows up to claim this piece of lost luggage,'' Kice added.

-------------------- To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten) Don't fuck with the laughing jesus.

It's the kind the slow old ladies wheel around in the airport, always right in front of you, blocking your path.
You'll recognize it because it looks like a carpet, with flowery patterns on the side.
