Piggly Wiggly - boy inside toy 'claw' machine

2004 - At a Piggly Wiggly store in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, a seven-year-old boy crawled into a game machine via the chute that dispenses cuddly toys. In the glass enclosure from which people usually capture a cuddly toy using a crane-like device, the boy found that his exit was blocked. The fire department's Mark Zittel said the boy's father was using a pay phone less than a metre away "and he said the next thing he turned around and the kid was in the thing". Firefighters had a locksmith unlock the door that is used for loading the machine and release the child, who "desperately had to go to the bathroom".
