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.

So, I guess this means don't take checked baggage on bus trips and yes that was indeed a strange sound that you heard beneath the floor of the coach.....

Flood the baggage area with carbon monoxide. Problem solved

Mostly because we didn’t tell them we were about to do it.

Thanks.

That’s not a dwarf. That’s a gnome. Much smaller.

But they wore velcro suits. You expect to be thrown up against a wall by drunks when you wear a velcro suit in a bar.

You're quite welcome, and I'm humbly honored if something that I've posted might bring a smile to one or more of our troops. I might as well take the rest of the day off, because there's nothing I can possibly do with my day that could top THAT.
Thanks very much for telling me, and best wishes to you and yours :-)

A midget has four wheels and races around a oval track, usually dirt.

That’s even worse! He can hide ANYWHERE!.....

midget is a derogatory term. Little people and dwarf are the designations preferred by dwarfs. I’m not sure why but I see no reason not to respect their wishes.
