A freight handler for an airline, while
unloading a plane at the Honolulu International Airport, noticed
that a surfboard that had been shipped from California was
damaged.
Being an ardent surfer himself, he knew that the owner would be
upset so he notified the claims agent of the airline.
When the claims agent inspected the surfboard, he discovered
that it had been hollowed out and a package of narcotics had
been inserted and covered over with a coating of fiberglass.
When the surfer showed up to claim his surfboard, he was
arrested on a charge of receiving illegal drugs.
