Voice of Will: Unpacking

2004-09-21 - 7:48 a.m.
So having fully unpacked our 10 suitcases, and 5 carry-on bags, we have noticed some things. We are currently missing

1 boys leather baseball glover
1 sealed ziplock bag of 1000 legos
1 left Yu-gi-oh sandal
1 Quantum Pad cartridge for 3rd grade math.

Now before we came we checked out what we could bring into and take out of china. The only seciton that comes to mind is the rather broad, "not in the interest of the PRC" clause. They did not specifically state what exactly was not in the interest of the PRC, I think they leave that up to the very serious customs officials, who actually look like their passport photos.

I'm still trying to puzzle out how exactly a baseball glove (which they don't seem to sell over here), and legos (which they do sell here) and 1 left sandal constitute a "not in the interest of the PRC" thingee.... I'm reminded of McGuiver for some odd reason... what could you do with those things?????
(actually, I'm pretty sure some schlep at LAX actually stole those items, but I like the mysteriousness of "not in the interest of the PRC")

Note 2011- We discovered later that it was security at LAX that "lost" the items.  However, when we checked with the airport they declared that those items were never found.  I still think someone walked off with them. -Crissy
