Large quantities of drugs were found inside merchandise from at least two Home Depot stores in Massachusetts, and authorities are investigating, police said Wednesday.
A contractor late last week discovered two 50-pound "bricks" of marijuana wrapped in plastic bags inside a bathroom vanity he had purchased at a Home Depot store in Tewksbury, said Chief of Detectives Lt. Dennis Peterson.
The estimated street value of the marijuana is around $145,000, Peterson said.
Similar incidents have occurred in other parts of the state.

Thanks for the update.
And could be one of your three scenarios - but I just post as I find it;)
the voice of logic or experience, hmmm....
Ummmm, a little of both, huh? But the experience part may have come when driving a patrol car...

It just depends on how much they are compressed...
I've been off the streets for a good number of years, so my recollections and logical analysis was from as noted above. Obviously haven't kept up on the current methods lately, but thanks for the great compression explanation.
Still doesn't alter my perception of the krappy(tm) work put out by what passes for "journalism" these days. And that observation is also from experience- when I actually ran a small newspaper where we cared about getting the facts straight and even used correct grammar in headlines, let alone body copy. Again, more than a few years ago.

Love that quote!
I tend to agree with Mark Twain's sentiment and only disagree with him on the valuation of shoe making and ditching as low value occupations. I think a person who has to stand on their head in a vat of sh!t probably has more job integrity and ethics than all the "journalists" in the snooze media combined.
Unintended pun..."high" end bathroom vanity?
Yup, didn't hit me until you pointed it out. Good catch! [grin]
A Home Despot clerk let a vanity get out of the store without looking inside it???Must have been a newbie.
I think I'll shop at Home Depot more often . . .
...correct grammar in headlines, let alone body copy.
All help appreciated.
