Police in Spain discovered a 12-year old boy hidden inside the dashboard of a BMW car at a checkpoint at the border with Morocco in the north African enclave of Melilla. A Moroccan pensioner who was driving the car was arrested for trying to smuggle in the youth, who was curled up inside the tiny space behind the dashboard.

Border guards discovered the boy, who is believed to be from Guinea, after detecting his heartbeat using a special machine designed to screen vehicles for stowaways.

When the child was freed from his cramped hiding space he was reportedly disorientated and suffering breathing difficulties. He also told medics at the border that he felt numbness in his limbs because of the position he was forced to adopt to fit into the space behind the dashboard of the BMW X5.

The twelfth is nearly upon us.

How creepy would it be to blindly poke your hand in and find that? Better a live boy than a dead boy I guess.

Good call.

A couple of times, as a joke, when signing my receipt at the counter for fast food, I would say slowly, while signing, Edgar Allen Poe, just to see if anyone blinked. None did.
