BUDAPEST - Two thieves were caught in southern Hungary with 12 pigs stuffed in their small van during a routine traffic check, Hungarian police saidon 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.

This just in--
The thieves claimed under interrogation that the pigs, in fact, pulled a gun on them and piled in the minivan. The pudgy porkers said they were Budapest University students and they wanted to be driven to Florida for spring break. After they were told that it was November and they were in EUROPE an argument ensued. It seems they also didn't particularly appreciate the snide comment about "why don't they find a freakin' phone booth like anybody else!" The pigs reportedly countered with "dude, you're driving a Renault"...The gun was never found and thieves were booked for casting comments before swine.
