[WTF] - Got a 75&#039; EM &amp; found Crystal Meth inside!!!!!!!!!!!!&quot;AbraCaDabra&quot;

Today I had an (Abra Ca Dabra) delivered. I brought it in and checked it out for about a minute and had to jet to meet a fellow Pin-Master to work/teach me a system 80.

I get home to start working on my 1975 Abra Ca Dabra EM....

----------> AND I FIND A CONTAINER OF NARCOTICS! <-------------------------

The pin was from an adult/kid that inherited everything from his passed away uncle. He never opened the pin or knew anything about pinball.

I found a f_cking legitimately large container of narcotics in the back.

SO CRAZY! I have dumped all narcotics down the drain. But Will never dump this story of my First EM HOLY F_CK!!!

lol, Not "Walter Whites" cook. This was a great deal of Crystal White/Clear. Mixed of powder and crystals. What a way to get a first '75 EM that was inherited with narcotics lol

Could have reposted to CL with the same story but moved the large bag to under the PF glass and took lots of pictures. Say not sure but you think it must be some type of dry wax for the PF.
Then let the tweakers come running. (FYI sell it out of the back of your truck) You do not want them knowing where you live.

Then you could buy 9 of them

That is very crazy but I am sure many things have been found and stored inside of pinball machines throughout the decades.

It has a key lol I guess its common place to stash it. I know I could have sold it and acquired a few more pins with the profit but I cant do that business nor want to be part of it. So what I assume was a great deal of money is now a few miles down my sewer.

I call it BS pix or it didn't happen. If you don't deal in it how did you know what it was? Crystal meth can be mistaken for a couple other drugs out there, How are you sure what you flushed, Could have been sugar for all you know.

I had a friend confirm it, that has seen it. etc. Why would you have a container of this in the back of an 1975 EM sold buy a kid that inherited it from his passed away uncle? ?

I found a bong in a Dolly Parton I bought at an auction. The coin door was locked and I had to drill it out, guess it is not uncommon place to hide stuff.

Should be careful posting this kind of stuff, it could land you in hot water with a) the police or b) someone looking for this that may have not belonged to the previous machine owner. Interesting read though.

I would have called the police to be safe. They likely would have only confiscated the substance, and not the machine.

For future, if this happens again

The best thing to do is to just take it to a drug drop. They will neutralize and properly dispose of it.

All I'm saying is that if we're finding non-trace amounts of prescrip medications in drinking water as-is from people flushing them, maybe dumping a pound of meth down the drain wasn't the wisest thing you've ever done. Maybe I'll send a letter to my brother, who's in jail for parole violation after being locked up for felony possession and ask him what he'd do with it.

.....nah, we all know the answer. :p

wow, interesting post !! being quite naïve .. and having driven a few pins across the border .. I had never even considered the possibility of this, or the risk / danger

I drove mine across the border without even looking in them ...

that could have been a real mess in a similar scenario

food for thought!

yes pictures please - we love to see more shots of others' abras too!!

I thought all old EMs came with a pound of meth so you could spend the entire night awake fixing them up?

ps. Can you imagine the bad luck of driving to the police station to turn it in, and getting pulled over and your car searched? "Yeah, Officer... I was just on my way to turn this in..." I bet he's never heard that one before. Do they have pinball in prison?

That google image was a reference to just show exactly what it was/looked like etc. I was going to take a video of me flushing it, but decided to not tie myself to it. Shes down the plumbing already, but I have no need to prove myself since this isn't something I would ever fake or want to fake. "I assumed the stamp on the right would be obvious enough that it was a reference photo not my photo."

Quoted from BALL_LESS1:
I wonder what the uncle died of?

I wanted to txt/email the guy this but if they did not know his uncle may have had a meth addiction that could be rather hard to swallow. I am currently restoring Abra Ca Dabra, being my first EM I am having a lot of fun with it. When I got it from Ebay the photos were blurry, I quickly realized this was a project and will be awhile till shes out of rehab.
