BUDAPEST - Two thieves were caught in southern Hungary with 12 pigs stuffed in their small van during a routine traffic check, Hungarian police said on Thursday.
Police stopped two men in a Renault Kangoo near the town of Szigetvar, about 137 miles south of Budapest, as they attempted to drive off.
"The pigs weighed about 25-30 kg (55-66 lb) each -- they were really squashed into the car very tightly," a spokesman said.
Police said the pigs came from a nearby farm, where 35 pigs have gone missing in recent days.

While a lot to put in a Renault, those are very small pigs indeed. Assuming that you don't want to invest in raising pigs (since you're going out to steal them,) wouldn't it be wiser to just nab one or two adult hogs?

I doubt we're dealing with the sharpest tools in the box here.

On another note, I'm very surprised that a Renault lasted long enough to get to the farm and back.

They were bacon to be caught, it seems.

Would those be short ribs, or baby back ribs?
