We see more and more of these idiots trying to break into houses by sliding down the chimney.WTF? How could anyone think they could get past the flue? (sp) sorry, just saw a story go by on the news and it made me have to ask. Any LEOs in here dealt with one of these? Chris |

Saw it on the news here in Portland yesterday. Laughed my ass off. Idiot went down the chimney to escape after a botched robbery attempt (don't ask, nobody figured that part out yet). He got stuck. The chimney had to be largely dismantled and they had to grease him up with some sort of firefighting foam to be able to pull him out. It took hours!! LOL. When the reporter was asked by the anchor if the thief had any words.. the reporter told him the words couldn't be repeated on tv.  Loser. It was good for a great laugh! |
I woudl think one woudl just need to build a good hot fire and keep it going for 12 hours or so. Problem solved. |
That works fine for raccoons, squirrels, birds and other assorted vermin. <shrug> |
