Tourist Walks to Cancun Flight After Losing Wallet
Cancun's got it all: money mules caught, tourist treks to the airport sans wallet, navy ninjas trained, neighborhoods get makeovers, the airport expands, sleepy señor mistaken for a corpse, & Socca Cup kicks off.

This enterprising individual attempted to waltz past customs with a cool 600,000 pesos (about $30,000) worth of undeclared dough tucked in their backpack. National Guard sniffer dogs, however, had other plans. The tourist's sun-soaked dreams of pesos galore quickly fizzled out, replaced by a one-way ticket to the Federal Public Ministry's not-so-sunny interrogation room.
