Inmate Escapes Jail By Way of Cardboard Box

by Blake Ellison Nov 14, 2008 2:20pm CST

 A 42-year-old Turkish man has escaped from a German prison through the clever use of a cardboard box.

The man hid in the box at the end of a shift of his prison job of making stationery and was carried out by a courier service along with other boxes, reports the BBC.

The escape was "an embarrassing incident" for Beate Peters, the warden of the prison in Willich, in western Germany.

The inmate cut through a tarp in the truck and jumped out shortly after the truck left the prison grounds. The truck driver then noticed the tarp flapping in the wind and reported the cut to the police.

Peters presumes that the man had accomplices outside the prison, and a manhunt is underway throughout western Germany.

Gotta give the guy some credit.

And people said video games didn't have an impact on real life behavior

Wow. I'd conrgatulate that guy for such a sterling effort. Such finese although he should actually be in jail still.

[Explodingsims 3]

Wow. That's an interesting way to leave...

Solid Snake would be proud.

I had a feeling someone would link to that.

lol, that is why you check the boxes before shipping them out of prisons.

Escape through a cardboard box? He's an original thinker.

Yep, that is a reason why boxes leaving prisons should be checked -- also, in the US, that's why those containers from China have to be checked. You never know what may be in them.

Thinking outside the box, yeah. Or was that thinking inside the box?

He had to do the thinking outside the box before he could get in it.

Well, I have a retort to that, but it's not PG-13, so you're going to have to win this one by default.

Did it possibly involve cutting a hole into the box?
