Twenty years ago; I tried to go to Canada for some seat leather, forgot about my trunk kit, the Canadian border people refused to let me in without a search, when the search team got a look at my trunk they refused to search my car, they stopped bridge traffic for me to turn around and go back. LOL

The American guard demanded to know why they sent me back; when I showed them my trunk kit and inventory, they told me to never come back. LOL
