Crook hid in carpet A crook tried to dodge a police search by disguising himself as a carpet.
The thief rolled himself up in a giant rug and propped himself up against a balcony wall while cops searched his aunt's flat in Warsaw, Poland, after he held up a cosmetics shop.
He was only found after a two hour search when a fed up detective went out onto the balcony for a smoke and noticed the carpet was trembling.
Miroslaw Dabrowski, 32, is now facing 12 years in jail for armed robbery.
