Pimp my mobility scooter
 
From http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2787499.html

Drug dealers are transporting their stashes in mobility scooters, police have revealed. Dealers are posing as disabled people and pack drugs in the vehicles - which have a top speed of 4mph.
Police say suspects are using scooters because cars can be tracked with number plate cameras, reports The Sun.
A Met Police source said: "We assume they are doing it because they think we won't search them. These are not disabled people."
One scooter stopped in South London was covered in jewellery to look "gangsta" - and Class A drugs were hidden inside.
So, clever idea using mobility scooters as they can't be tracked by ANPR, but really dumb idea blinging it up so it looks like a drug dealers vehicle.
