One enterprising kid becomes entertainment under glass at a Piggly Wiggly in Sheboygan, WI:
A 7-year-old boy had to be rescued with the help of a locksmith Saturday after crawling into a supermarket's stuffed animal game machine while his father talked on the telephone.
"He was sitting right in there with the stuffed animals," said Shift Commander Mark Zittel of the Sheboygan Fire Department.
He said the boy, whose name was not released because he is a minor, crawled through about an 8-inch-by-10-inch opening to get into the glass enclosure via a chute where the toys come out, but when he tried to get back out his way was blocked.
The picture is amusing. I figure the kid has a cracking good chance at a career as a cat burglar, if he can crawl through such a tiny space unnoticed (these games are usually at the very front of Piggly Wigglys, by the cash registers).
