Now this is just too funny

Criminal gangs are using dwarves in a ruse to steal from the luggage holds of long-distance coaches, by hiding them inside suitcases, according to police.

The bizarre crime is on the rise in Sweden and officers say thieves have got away with thousands of pounds in cash, jewellery and other valuables in recent months.

Gangs are said to sneak the dwarves into the luggage hold, hidden inside baggage.

Then, once the journey has begun, the stowaways are free to rifle through the bags of other passengers without fear of being apprehended.

Before the coach arrives at its destination the dwarves take their loot back into their suitcase, zip themselves inside and wait to be collected by their partners in crime.

Heard that on the wacky news at today. Ingenious….but they never said how they ever got caught? Maybe a police dwarf hid himself in a bag to try to figure out how the loot was being stolen…555…

For years its been a common scam here in Thailand to have guys hide in the luggage hold of the busses and rifle through the bags when its moving.. Always always use bag locks.

Even better still, never put valuables or money in your suitcase, but carry them in your hand luggage.

You cant blame the dwarfs for becoming crims. The poor little buggers used to have good jobs in pub beer gardens getting thrown arround by drinkers in pubs, but then the politically correct crowd came along and next thing you know they are out of a job. No wonder they are now rifleing arround in peoples bags on busses. Society is to blame.
