How to unlock the Sneaky Little Buggers achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide
Let me preface this by saying that I found each Loot Midget exactly where the Strategy Guide said they would be. I don't think they are random, instead I think there are multiple locations where they can be found.
1. Mini-Steve - Inside a red chest in the southeast bandit camp in the Deep Fathoms area.
2. Meat Popsicle - In the Sunken Sea area, get on the freeway and stop underneath the Dahl sign. On your right you will see a set of stairs, walk down and find a fridge around the corner of the small building with Meat Popsicle inside.
3. Truxican Wrestler - Immediately upon entering Lockdown Palace, search all of the lockers in the first long hallway.
4. Dumpster Diver - Accept the "Little People, Big Experiments" mission from Thirsty and head to the waypoint marker. Take down Motorhead and search the dumpster within the garage.
5. Crimson Shorty - Just before you enter The Crimson Armory, there will be two Crimson Lance chests. One of them will contain your final Loot Midget.
If you're finding it difficult to locate one of these guys, there are a few that are listed twice within the guide. Message me and I will look to see if I can find an alternate location for you. Good luck and happy hunting!
Dumpster Diver: I found him where i killed motorhead in the dumpster.
Meat Popsicle: He is found in a fridge, i found him in the sunken sea in a midget village
Mini Steve: He is found in a red weapon container. I found him in the lockdown palace
Truxican Wrestler: He is found in a locker. I found him in the lockdown palace
Crimson Shorty: He is found a lance weapon container. I found him before you enter the armory theres a lance container sitting there
So when your searching for the midgets make sure to look in those type of containers, its never going to be the same area i figured that out watching the video because the video didn't help me much
It's worth noting that midgets that you kill in your 1st playthrough count towards your 2nd playthrough as well (I killed mini steve in my first, and the rest in 2nd).
1) Mini Steve - Found in Lockdown Palace
2) Truxican Wrestler - Found in Lockdown Palace
3) Meat Popsicle - Found in Lockdown Palace
4) Crimson Shorty - Found in the bottom of Road's End
5) Dumpster Driver - Found in a Dumpster in the same room as Motorhead
HINT: Search every weapon chest and locker you see, and also some of them can be found in more than one place.
four in Lockdown Palace. one of them is before you fight Shank, and the other three are after you rescue Athena and you are leaving the prison. just open all the loot bins you can find! lockers and chests and all! and make sure to look around every corner! one or two of these ones can easily be missed! [lol] there's one in T-Bone Junction (facing scooters, go right, turn left before the hill and go down [not up]. the final hut on the right will have two ammo crates and a switch on the wall in the back. hit the switch then go open the door on the other side. he's in the only loot bin in there. he will be level 61 no matter what playthrough you're on. i sugest leaving this one for last. i did it at level 50 and it was a pain in the ass) one at the end of Road's End before you enter into the Crimson Armory. he's in one of the newer looking weapon crates. one is in a red weapon crate in the "Restore Took Pump" area during the Purple Juice quest, which is in Sunken Sea. follow Shaq Slam's picture to find the Purple Juice quest. and finally, one is in the same room you fight Motorhead. you get the mission to kill Motorhead after you finish and turn in the Purple Juice quest.
it took me all 8 of them for the achievement to pop. I don't remember all their names, but each one had a different name.
i hope it helps.
EDIT:
"I have fought seven of them, but only four of them count because three times they were repeats ( loot midgets with the same name but found in different places. ) you only have to get five, but they must all be different ones. The first four can be found easily in many different places but the fifth can only be found in the same location as motörhead."

Upon killing the last midget needed, the trophy will unlock. Below is an excellent video detailing locations of each midget:. Credit goes to David Solorio.
Happy Hunting :)
Loot midgets are fairly tough little buggers that jump out of various loot containers. They come in five varieties and can sometimes be found in multiple locations. Below is a list of the types of loot midgets and at least one of their locations:
Meat Popsicle: Hides in refrigerators. Can be found in the lowest portion of T-Bone Junction or in the midget village in Sunken Sea
Dumpster Diver: Found in the dumpster in the area where you kill Motorhead
Truxican Wrestler: Found in one of the lockers at the beginning of Lockdown Palace
Mini Steve: Found inside normal red weapons chests. Can be found in one in Lockdown Palace
Crimson Shorty: Found in one of the Crimson Lance Chests at the end of the Road's End map (just before the Armory)

Meat Popsicle: In the prison after you kill Jerome and Mr. Shank (Mr. Shank) will threaten you, go a little straight and you will find this dwarf in the refrigerator.
Truxican Wrestler: Found in the prison in one of the first lockers on the left.
Mini Steve: There are several places where you can find this dwarf. He hides in red chests (but only some). Like the previous dwarfs, you can find him in prison in a red box in another opposite the Claptrap who is in trouble.
Crimson Shorty: This dwarf hides in the chests of "spearmen" (like Mini Steve only in certain ones) and can often be found during mission 14 (Loot Larceny). If you turn 180 degrees from the entrance to the armory (to the place where you will fight the general), the Kalika can be found in the chest on the left.
Dumpster Diver: During the mission "Little People, Big Experiments", this dwarf hangs out in the trash bin in the room where you find Motorhead.
