Immigrants devise creative methods of hiding
Status: Weird news
Two cases of illegal immigrants finding unusual methods of sneaking into countries have recently been in the news:

Case #1: U.S. border police found 13 illegal immigrants inside a fake Budweiser beer van.

Case #2: British authorities found four illegal immigrants hiding inside a 32-foot-tall fake Christmas tree in the back of a truck. The tree was made of aluminum and nylon, and had been ordered for a town center display.

More from the Hoax Museum Archives:
Talking about creative tree hides, I was reading "In the Flash Ranging Service:
Observations of an American Soldier During His Service With the A.E.F. in France" Edward Alva Trueblood (1919) and he was talking about an amoured observation tree he used.

I didn't really understand until I saw this article "WW1 Camouflage Tree debarked" http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/08/15/2336894.htm.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about it is how they would chop down a tree during the night and then replace it with one of these so that no-one would notice a "new" tree that just grew overnight.
