Even if she'd discovered it in Mexico, what would you do? Call Mexican authorities? They'd probably throw you in jail. She's very lucky she didn't get caught at the border.

"After a woman unknowingly smuggled 30 pounds of pot into the United States Friday, she called the police on herself. Apparently, a victim of drug-trafficking, the unnamed woman was shocked after finding bundles of weed strapped to the bottom of her vehicle, citing an April 21 NBCNewYork report.
This strange news story began when the 33-year-old woman arrived to her job in San Diego. Because she was early, she sat in the car for a while. Moments later, two men approached and began removing packages from underneath her car.
Startled by the woman sitting in the car, the two men fled to a black SUV and drove off."
...if this was already posted, I'll delete this thread. I didn't see it anywhere, though.

She was probably also offended by the quality.
She did the right thing in my opinion.
No need to go Nancy Botwin.
