Trying to hide in Ikea is thwarted
Ikea stores are so big some people find it's easy to get lost — surely that theory needed to be put to the test. Police were called to the Glasgow branch of the Swedish furniture giant on Saturday after thousands of people threatened to turn up for a mass game of hide and seek.
Plans were announced and spread on Facebook. The trend for using Ikea's giant warehouses for games began in Europe a few years ago and has seen people hiding in fridges, under beds and in the firm's big blue shopping bags. Staff at the Braehead store became aware of a Facebook thread suggesting 3000 youths were about to descend.
As well as drafting in extra security, Ikea contacted police, who dispatched five officers. Groups of youths who looked like they were only there for the game were turned away. (The Scotsman.com)
