A contortionist thief hid in a piece of luggage that was checked in the hold of a shuttle bus that ran from Girona airport to Barcelona; he'd rifle the other bags in the hold in transit and fill his own suitcase with the booty, zipping himself in before arrival.
One victim became suspicious when she saw the apparently anxious accomplice rushing to retrieve his suitcase, and then proceed to have a conversation with it.
A few days later on June 3, a bus driver noticed a passenger struggling with a heavy suitcase and called in the cops. Officers opened up the bag, which they said felt unusually warm. Inside was a sweaty man, nearly 6ft tall, equipped with a headlamp, a sharp tool and a cell phone.
