It was an ordinary day at the beach of the Fort Morgan Peninsula in Baldwin County, Alabama late last week. That was, until beachgoers watched a mysterious bundle bobbing in the water. Swimmers dragged it onto the shore and called the police.

Testing confirmed that it was $1.5 million worth of cocaine.

Authorities are now investigating the incident. The bundle reportedly contained 50 individually wrapped kilos and weighed 110 pounds. It had been in the water for so long that barnacles were attached to it.

The loss was just a rounding error.

It just wasn’t what it was cracked up to be.

I was hoping it was Neil Young’s body.

Of course, the barnacles were hooked.

Would have been courteous to include this in the title.

Just click bait from a hack web-site.

From the article (wow!): The Baldwin County Sheriffs Office issued a statement claiming that incidents like this one are “not uncommon” and that more could surface in the future. “It is not uncommon for additional bundles of illicit contraband to surface, and Sheriff [Anthony] Lowery asks the community to report any bundles immediately to local law enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said. “We ask the public not to open bundles or packages, as they could contain hazardous chemicals or dangerous drugs.”

Meanwhile in Britain, border enforcement intercepted 2 METRIC TONS of cocaine worth an estimated $135 million.

Happens all the time, probably a significant amount DOES NOT get turned in. We call it “square grouper”

Could be worse. From NYS...

The historic Coney Island Beach in NYC looks like a third-world country. It has turned into a total ****hole. Just wait until Mamdani becomes Mayor. You've seen nothing yet.

Three of the asterisks mine.
