Italian police made a bizarre discovery last week: an Egyptian man carrying a Canadian passport stowed away in a ship container furnished with its own bed and toilet. Rizik Amid Farid "was carrying airport maps and airside security passes for Canada, Thailand and Egypt," the Times of London reports.
