   My Dad had a similar problem decades ago.   
      
   Setup:   
   We lived a little west of Detroit and we were going to do a Canada vacation   
   soon (we made it all the way to Quebec City).  Dad had to run some errands   
   that took him close to the border, so he decided to zip over and exchange   
   currency.   
      
   One of the errands was to pickup the computer (keep in mind that this was the   
   1970's and computers weren't in every home) that he was getting repaired for   
   his school.   
      
   He picked up the computer in Detroit and put it in he back of the car.   
   No one said "boo" crossing into Canada, but coming back over, he was grilled   
   and if it wasn't for the receipt that showed that the computer was from the   
   U.S., they would have made him pay an import tax on the computer.   
      
      
   ... The bigger they are, the harder they hit you.
