German Mechanic Gets The Boot

Pointing out stories you may have missed: German police staged a major operation to find a kidnapped child after a woman spotted a "young boy" being locked into a car boot. The panicked woman alerted authorities as the car drove off, and police set up road blocks and dispatched patrol cars to intercept the vehicle. But when the car was finally sighted and stopped, police found the "boy" was actually dwarf car mechanic Klaus "Shorty" Mueller, 27. He had climbed in the boot and asked to be driven around so he could see where a strange rattling noise had been coming from.

Now that's what I call turning a negative into a positive! He has a real advantage over other mechanics, surely?
