The woman spotted what she thought was a "young child" being locked into a car boot and alerted authorities as it drove off.

But when the car was stopped, police found the "boy" was actually car mechanic Klaus "Shorty" Mueller, 27.
A police spokesperson confirmed: "A major investigation and manhunt was immediately launched and the car and its driver were apprehended.
"It seems the driver had been worried by inexplicable rattling noises in or near his boot.
"He called a mechanic, who was very small, and who climbed in the boot to get to the bottom of the problem."

A Dutch TV company will film three critically ill patients competing for a kidney transplant.
The kidney will be provided by a terminally ill woman, who will decide the lucky winner of the organ, with the help of viewers.
All three contestants are critically ill and on dialysis as they wait for a donor organ to be made available.
Viewers of ‘The Big Donor Show’ will be able to send text messages to advise the 37-year-old woman, known as Lisa, which of the candidates to pick.
The show is being made by Endemol, which created ‘Big Brother’ in 1999, for broadcaster BNN.
The project sparked widespread complaints but BNN claims the show is designed to highlight the acute shortage of donors in the Netherlands.

Dozens of Britons risked serious injury when they chased a rolling cheese down a hill.
Around 3,000 spectators watched competitors hurling themselves down Cooper’s Hill in Brockworth, England on Monday (28.05.07) in the bizarre annual contest.
They chased 200m down the steep slope in pursuit of the wheel-shaped Double Gloucester.
There were five races on day, with the final contest won by Brockworth’s very own Chris Anderson.
The 19-year-old said: "I don’t even like cheese much." The winners are allowed to keep the cheese as a prize, runners up get £10 for their troubles, with a £5 reward for placing third.
The unusual event is an ancient tradition thought to have its roots in a heathen festival to celebrate the return of spring.

Hundreds of wild elephants were found "hiding" in Sudan.
The heavy herd was discovered by chance on a treeless island in south Sudan.
International wildlife experts said their hide-out meant they’d avoided falling prey to unchecked hunters for 20 years.
The actual location of the elephants will not be disclosed, to prevent poachers from finding and killing them.
Sudan’s civil war resulted in the displacement of many animals but the living areas of most have been recorded and made available to the public.
An environmentalist said: "It’s not that good a habitat for elephants, but they’re free of people shooting at them. You and I wouldn’t stand a chance in there between the mosquitoes and crocodiles. And you’d get lost."
