This was one persistent little kid.

Boy Gets Stuck Inside Vending Machine

ELKHART, Ind. (May 21) - A 3-year-old boy upset that his mother wouldn't let him use a crane vending machine to try to win a small stuffed animal took matters in his own hands. He climbed up the chute to get the prize himself.

Danielle Manges said she took her eyes off her son, James, for a moment to pick up a juice bottle he threw. When she looked up, he was in with the plush toys.

''I bent over to clean it and within two seconds he had climbed through the hole, into the chute and pushed the door shut so we couldn't get him out,'' she said. ''He climbed up in the toys and was in there for a good hour.''


"He was swinging from a bar, jumping around. He was having a ball."
-Anthony Coleman, firefighter

Manges said James has been sick and sleeping odd hours so they went shopping about 3 a.m. Thursday at a Wal-Mart in the city some 15 miles east of South Bend. She let the boy play on some of the rides, but wouldn't give him money for the vending machine.

At first, Manges thought it was funny.

''He was playing with all the toys and hanging from the bar like a monkey,'' she said.

Manges said people leaving the store went back inside to buy disposable cameras to take photos of her son. She bought one herself.

She became upset, however, when Wal-Mart employees said they did not have a key to let James out. So Manges called the fire department for help.

''I expected his hand to be caught in the machine but it was his entire body in the machine,'' firefighter Anthony Coleman said. ''He was swinging from a bar, jumping around. He was having a ball.''

About 40 people watched as the firefighters removed the back of the machine and freed him.

James still came up empty handed.

''He definitely didn't get a toy after that,'' Manges said.

RJ,

I have a three and half year old niece who has her fair share of "the wants", but this child knows what "No" means. I can honestly say that she would not try to pull something like this. She knows that if she does, her Mother would make sure she didn't live to see the age of four. :rofl:
 
Put two quarters in, get a kid. Mmmm. Nice alternative to childbirth.
 
Oh hahahaha I re-read and now I got it! LOLOLOL At least it is much cleaner than childbirth! I would not mind going though childbirth again with my gf!

Hey, what I got... I has my story life...

At my age about 7 or 8. I remember that I and my mother went to Rainbow Food store, I had tried to grab it at between that is for pop; or something there has warming place outside of market. I don't have coins, money or something with special equipment for key. Anyways, it's not crane machine, just for toys equipment almost as similiar in candy, but it was larger than candy like Skittles, M & M -- it was larger than candy storage for buy by the people. But, it has vending bit shape was bit more larger it was about circle or square than my kid hands. :naughty: I don't remember how it has shape there it was for getting things after buying. So I has been tried it, and succeed, I got a toy from inside that is for just like similar -- do you have seen like as M & M, Skittles, and or other same size as M & M or Skittles?

Luckily, I didn't get stuck inside of it, yet, I almost get kicked out by the
store, so my mother said, :-o then she was jawwed :jaw: "You're in big trouble, and you must give it
back inside the box, now!!" Mom was :twisted: twisting
Oh, okay. I would get it back inside into it. Oh well. :greddy:
So, I was felt guilt. But after that, I has been learned from mistakes or
wrongful behavior. :ugh2: :dunno: I would be learning everyday in
my life! :)

That remind me of that I got remember about my story life! :rofl:
