British woman caught smuggling a kilo of cocaine in her wig
I know what you are thinking, but no. The British woman in question is not Amy Winehouse. Although, I always wondered what the eccentric English singer keeps stuffed in that hairdo. An average-size cat was my guess. It honestly never even dawned on me that one could smuggle stuff in their hair. That's probably because I can barely hide a bobby pin in mine.
People get so creative. Check this one out.
A British woman was arrested in at Vaernes airport in Norway on suspicion of drug smuggling. According to Mail Online, an airport customs officer noticed the 32-year-old had 'a lot of hair'. Closer examination revealed a one kilogram (2.2lb) bag of cocaine glued to her head under a hairpiece.
Apparently, it was glued so firmly to the woman's real hair that police had to take her to hospital to have it removed.
What did she say about that? No, No, No.

Not very original. If you watched Casino a few years back, one of the mob guys wife smuggled diamonds in her hair.

ppl have been stuffing things in their hair for YEARS! drugs, jewels, money, you name it! if it can hide well up there, it will be stuffed in there. i heard when i was kid (circa mid 1980s) that a lot of foreign travelers travled with money stuffed in their hair to prevent theft and make it easier to travel around with.

The girl actually did a good job, besides the fact that she got caught, but somethings can be placed right under your nose, where most people don't look. The hairstyle looks suspcious and someone decided to pay close attention.
