Little person ... a dwarf
Cops hunt dwarf thieves
A GANG of crooks is robbing long-distance coaches by smuggling dwarves into their holds inside sports bags.
Once inside the buses the tiny thieves slip out from their hiding place to rifle through the belongings of travellers above them.
They then take their loot back to their hiding place and wait to be collected by another gang member when the coach reaches its destination.
The gang has stolen thousands of pounds in cash, gems and other valuables over the past several months.
Swebus, which operates coach services across Sweden, confirmed the losses.
We think it is a short, young person, dwarves or perhaps children, said Ingvar Ryggasjo, sales manager for Swebus.
We are taking extra security measures and are thinking of installing video surveillance cameras.
He said on one occasion a light-fingered little person was smuggled aboard a bus in a hockey bag.
One woman reported seeing two men squeezing the large, heavy bag into the luggage space under the bus. After arriving she found a camera, purse and other items missing.
Police are quizzing people of limited stature with criminal records, according to a spokesman in Stockholm.

Correct, but I would add tough and bearded.
Did you see a race of midgets in Lord of the Rings? I don’t think so, so that settles that....
To: tillacum
Yes, it is a anachronistic term nowadays and is politically incorrect......

Short People Lyrics
By Randy Newman
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here
...
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here ...

Whats the difference between a dwarf and a midget? Dwarf = Vertically challenged
