  There are various motivations to smuggle. These include the participation in illegal trade, such as in the drug trade, illegal weapons trade, exotic wildlife trade, illegal immigration or illegal emigration, tax evasion, providing contraband to a prison inmate, or the theft of the items being smuggled.
  Smuggling is a common theme in literature, from Bizet's opera Carmen to the James Bond spy books Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger.
