Jet Airways workers in India made a million-dollar discovery in the most
of unusual of places—two dozen gold bars stuffed into a plane's
toilets, reports
AFP.
Smugglers apparently hid the bars in two boxes and jammed them in
there, but the cleaning crew in Kolkata got to them first. India is a
major buyer of gold, and a steep hike in taxes has led to a rise in
smuggling, explains
Reuters.
Its story includes this quote from an investigator: "We are also asking
the aircraft crew to tip us off about people who spend slightly more
time in toilets."
