    that amounts to 27.2 kilos. With a street value of $24K /kilo, she gave away $650K.

    I bet you can buy a lot of turtles with $650K. :geek:

    I am amazed by your extensive knowledge of the price of coke.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    And just think, someone probably got killed as a result of that block of coke not showing up. :lol:

    pix?

    Pic has smiling volunteer with an open brick, so I'll skip posting. But looks like a white bag, torn open with about 10 bricks the size of school textbooks wrapped tightly in black trash bag plastic. One bag is open and the stuff looks really rigid.

    My mom corrected me. Her volunteer further up the beach found it and she caught up a moment later.

    There are ways to blur out a face.

    "sit down here sonny...did I ever tell you about the time I was at the beach counting turtles and my friend found a plastic bag filled with 27.2 kilos of coke? Street value of $650 grand? Well, that's what I was told it was worth by this kid Jason P...I turned it into the police, because that's the right thing to do. Well....now that I think about it, I could have saved a lot of turtles with that much money...shit, maybe that wasn't the right thing to do..."

    More fun facts.

    A box of Turtles cost $35. She could have bought 18,571 boxes of Turtles. Which amounts to 445,714 packs of Turtles.

    :shock:

    That's a lot of Turtles.

    Also, I wonder if the discovery had been bales of marijuana, would someone be as likely to turn them in? :P
