Beware the menacing hair thieves of Myanmar
Dudes are running around Burma, sneaking up on long-haired ladies, cutting their hair off, then scampering off and selling it for $100 or more a pound. I wonder if some of it ends up back in the US, for use in hair extensions on the heads of Hollywood elite. Link (Thanks, Doran)
Reader comment: cageitfallsinto says,
A character in A Fine Balance, a novel in the Russia-realist vein by Indian author Rohinton Mistry does the very same thing to beggars and pedestrians alike on the streets of India!
