    I .Ean that’s how it was for Canadians, it’s not like we had an actual work around there either. People just don’t bother to declare stuff when crossing.

      A Canadian I used to know told me their family would have some cheaper items in the back seat that they’d declare and hide the more expensive stuff. Apparently it did work.

        That was my shoplifting tactic when I was a kid.

        Well not the backseat part, I hid chocolates in my bike helmet and always bought something like a drink.

        All the idiots that didn’t buy anything got caught instantly.
