I've heard this rumour about trains/buses in Thailand, Cambodia, Loas, Germany, Italy, Romania Bulgaria, Spain morroco also on Greek ferries..........sure I'm not denying things get knicked when people are asleep, but really what type of gas? It would be pretty easy to kill people with anything but hard to access medical grade stuff. Thats a lot of hassle to go to if your a dodgy charachter, all for a gortex jacket, a camera and a few draws. Does anyone know who this has happened to?
I think that this is one of those urban myths ( maybe one for the myth busters " Can you mug a climber in a VW combi using gas?")

Don't trust rumours....and don't believe the hype.
