The police in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, called on a curious mix-up: Witnesses had seen an "older woman" in a man's trunk in a supermarket parking lot - she turned out to be a garden gnome.
Bielefeld - As the police announced on Thursday, a woman and her brother had alerted the officers in the morning.
