Abstract
We say that a planar set has the Kakeya property if there exist two different positions of such that can be continuously moved from the first position to the second within a set of arbitrarily small area. We prove that if is closed and has the Kakeya property, then the union of the nontrivial connected components of can be covered by a null set which is either the union of parallel lines or the union of concentric circles. In particular, if is closed, connected and has the Kakeya property, then can be covered by a line or a circle.
