So if he had hid it in the fridge he would have gone free?

I'd be heartbroken if the Feds (or anybody) tore into my 4 antique Kenwood KL-777A speakers. I certainly wouldn't be hiding anything in them.

Law enforcement officials searched Carreno’s home, where they found more than nine kilograms of meth inside a speaker box.
Meanwhile the cartels move thousands of kilos of meth and cocaine across the border.
Priorities.
