Drug smugglers using unwitting mules - people who commute regularly, who've passed all the fast-treatment tests, who drive Fords.

Determine where the car parks on each side of the border, read the VIN off the dashboard, get a locksmith to clone the key, and stuff your drugs into the trunk in Juarez. Pick 'em up in El Paso. Since the fast-crossing requirements prohibit putting anything in the trunk, odds are the victim isn't even going to notice.

Next step: Don't worry about regular commuters. Instead, Put a cheap smartphone onboard the mule car. Program it to call its location in to an anonymous electronic drop every half hour.

Doesn't work - the whole point of targeting regular commuters is that they don't get searched nearly as often or as thoroughly, which means you lose fewer shipments.

Sure, you can avoid associating yourself with the mule car if it's truly random.... except that you're planning to show up to collect it. And it's WAY more likely that the cops found it.
