wpid-ipad-smuggle-225x300.jpg

You might have seen Chinese versions of iPad, but I’m sure you’ll have not seen this Chinese stuff before. This is Chinese engineering at extreme I would say, As the Chinese smugglers using a cable to smuggle iPads from Hong Kong to China for some time have now been caught by the Custom Officials. They were using a pulley system connected with cable across a 21st floor of building on both sides to transfer iPads illegally, ofcourse their motive was to earn profit and they probably have been doing this for a long time, we don’t know, but what an idea this is. They were not only smuggling iPads but also the iPhones as well; you’ll get the idea of how this happened after watching the video posted at the end.

The iPad and iPhones were transported over a small river that separates the booming city of Shenzhen from the rural northern part of Hong Kong using an elaborate pulley system. The cable was shot across the border using a crossbow and the Apple products were flying across at night, which store in black nylon bags. The cable was suspended to a high-rise building in the Chinese border town of Shenzhen, and goods were moved several hundred meters from a small village house located in Hong Kong

While China and Hong Kong have their own independent legal tax systems, these smugglers were able to get cheaper iPads from Hong Kong and then make good profits by selling them in China. A 300 meters of cable connected to 21st floor of building on both sides was used to separate the two countries. It took only 2 minutes for iPads and iPhones to travel from one place to another.

50 iPad 2s were seized and six smugglers were arrested during the raid.[/p]

Sounds like some smugglers got their hands on the Robin Hood Disney Classic, if you ask me. It's a genious idea, and had they not been caught, it'd be a darn shame to never know that they do stuff like this

I am curious - a nice clear cut case of tax evasion and people are commending them?

Anyhow quite amusing.
