Upside-down in the Chimney
A man who tried to break into the house on Friday got stuck in a chimney for fifty
hours. The owner of the house returned after a weekend break and heard a strange noise
in her chimney. She called the police who found a neighbour stuck upside down in the
chimney. He had climbed onto the roof and was trying to enter the house through the
chimney when he got stuck. The man claimed he had returned home drunk, lost his key
and thought that was his house. After the police got him out of the chimney, they arrested
him.
