One tip from The Found Guys here at TheFoundBin.com: if you’re going to be carrying illegal documents around with you, do make sure that you don’t lose the bag that said documents are in!
From a story out of Galway, Ireland:
A briefcase, handed into Galway Garda Station by a member of the public who found it on the side of the road, led to the conviction of an elderly man this week for possession of two false Irish passports.
Michael Whelton, (63), who lives in sheltered accommodation at 37 Cambridge Court, Ringsend, Dublin used the personal details of two dead men to obtain two passports, which had his photo on them, from the Passport Office.
