Dwarf’s Diagnostic Approach Leads to Manhunt
Stumble it!German auto mechanic Klaus “Shorty” Meuller was trying to help a customer and ended up causing a full-scale police chase.
Meuller, who voluntarily climbed into the trunk of a customer’s car in an effort to diagnose a rattling noise, was mistaken for a child by a woman in a nearby apartment. She thought she’d witnessed a kidnapping in progress and called the Bremen police as the car drove away from the scene.
“A major investigation and manhunt was immediately launched and the car and its driver were apprehended,” said a police spokesperson.
Upon opening the trunk, police discovered that the “kidnapped boy” was Meuller. Meuller explained he’d asked to be driven around in the trunk to get to the bottom of the customer’s noise issue.
Meuller had used the same technique to solve a number of other strange noise issues for his customers without incident.
