Pavlodar-Omsk land customs. The Kazakh side. The operator stopped the scanner tape at the moment when there was a purse with money and documents. He shows with all his appearance that his tape is broken, while tapping on the display for some reason - the tape does not go, they say, frowns. But what does the display have to do with it, well, OK, he knows better... We pulled out the suitcase sticking out half by hand, took it away, asked "is that all?". The answer is "yes." And there is no one behind us. Awkwardly, we picked up our suitcases and went to the car. After all, you can't walk around in the inspection hall for a long time, and even more so, you can't pick at the scanner. The facility is secure, strict order, no one is delayed. Well, the employee said that's it, so there's nothing else in the scanner. After all, he is an employee - he has no right to lie. And we believe. Getting into the car, we count the luggage - there is no purse. We are returning (thank God at the same moment). The operator who performed the scan on the tape was gone in 30 seconds. They are already being met by other customs officers. When asked about the purse, they answer that we have not seen your purse. She is now "missing" and will be in the jurisdiction of Kazakhstan - now we will register the loss, sort it out. They say there are a lot of people here, other people could have carried them away. I explain that we were the last, and that was 30 seconds ago. The customs officers looked at each other in silence with a dissatisfied look, silently pulled out a pre-prepared stick and took out a bag with a stick from the depths of the scanner. Prudently not including the tape. According to legend, she broke down. In general, their scheme did not work. We caught ourselves in time. It's good that they came to their senses in 30 seconds and returned. And imagine if in 5 minutes? Heh, if they took everything out of the purse that they needed and put it there, there would be no blame. People are streaming in. The scheme for earning money is excellent. There are no culprits. You won't get caught. Well done. This ingenuity would be in the right direction - in the right place. Such brains disappear. Be careful and attentive at the customs offices of Kazakhstan. There are no friends there for you. Especially now, if you are Russians.
