When Border control stole my mail
The story
I bought a harmless cap gun that was bright orange and cost 279.99 dollars. I waited for 2 months and then found out that it had been seized by border patrol

Any problem with law after that? 😮
sounds like typical bureaucratic nonsense, right? 🤦♂️ i bought a model airplane once, super harmless, and customs acted like i was importing a rocket launcher. border patrol seems to get a little too jumpy over stuff like this. bright orange cap gun costing that much? insane. it feels like their "seized dangerous items" list may need a serious update. can't even enjoy simple hobbies anymore without jumping through hoops.
honestly, your cap gun situation seems a bit inflated... "harmless" might not be the right descriptor when dealing with border security protocols... tried ordering vintage electronics once, got held up too, classic red tape... but at that price-point, $279.99, you can't really blame them for double-checking... a high-cost toy with potential look-alike issues could raise suspicions of illegal replication or smuggling... rules are stringent for a reason,, even if it's frustrating... can't say i'm entirely sympathetic here...
