Couch of Coke

Coke couch; Photo - NY PostThose disgusting couches you see on sidewalk might be secret special drug repositories. A man used his truck and a U-Haul to move 170 pounds of coke hidden in a couch, driving from El Paso, TX to New York. Eddie Guitterez left the couch on a Bronx street, as well as abandoned the truck and U-Haul, in 2002. Apparenly neighborhood crackheads had been sitting on the couch but didn't realize they were sitting on the stash until sanitation workers discovered it.

Our favorite crazy drug stories: Heroin turned into furniture, pot grown in a park, drug money laundering jewelery, and the Eldridge Street pot farm upstairs from the children's nursery school.
