Stockholm, Sweden (AHN) - Travelers using long-distance buses are being warned to take extra caution after Swedish police said cases of thieves using midgets in robbing long-distance coaches is on the rise.Definitely a good idea.
Police said the thieves are able to steal from the unsuspecting bus passengers by sneaking the dwarves into the luggage holds in sports bags and once they are inside, the midgets out from the bags and sift through the luggage of the train passengers.
Once they have collected their loot, the dwarves sneaked back to their sports bags and just wait to be picked up when the coach reaches its destination.
Police said this modus operandi of the thieves have enabled them to steal thousands of pounds in cash, gems and other valuables over the past months.
Favorite target of the thieves-using-dwarves are Swebus buses, which services British passengers across Sweden.
"We have had reports about several thefts by dwarves on the stretch between Vasteras and Stockholm," said a spokesman for Swebus. "We're thinking of installing video cameras."

Hey! What Snow White did you grow up with? She has black hair and found her prince by being catatonic.
I think they like to be called "little people" but beware the little people just doesn't have the same ring.
And beware the midgets sounds too silly...
