According to news reports coming out of Sweden, little people (short-statured, or midgets, or dwarves, depending on your particular choice of nomenclature, but I believe little people is the preferred nomenclature) may be involved in or being used by a criminal network of bus luggage thieves nationwide. This has April Fool’s hoax written all over it. Somebody check Snopes. I’d check myself, but I want to post this too bad to debunk it first.
Allegedly, they stuff the small person into a large sports bag, put him in the baggage compartment, and then once the bus is en route, the little person extracts himself, steals stuff from the other bags, then gets back into the bag before reaching the destination.
Attention bus line operators — I may have a solution. Every bag entering the baggage compartment must be KICKED, REALLY HARD, before being placed into the compartment, to ensure that a living person is not contained. Those bags that cry out upon being kicked will be rejected, searched and possibly set on fire.
