A man who identified himself only as Haldor approaches traffic in front of the Ikea store. “I need work. I build boats,” he said.

Police are cracking down after receiving complaints from motorists about a large group of Swedish day laborers that approach drivers stopped at the red light in front of the Ikea store.  

“I know they’re just looking for a job,” said motorist Bucolia Abisco, “but they walk right up to my car window holding a carpenter’s axe in one hand and a mug of Bryggkaffee Mörkrost in the other.  They ask if I need any boats built.  It’s scary.”

According to Abisco, she reluctantly switched from Ikea to Bed, Bath and Beyond.  “But, I really miss my Skorpor Fullkorn every morning,” she said forlornly.
