I am curious if this guy was hungry or if he wanted money. Either way, he was pretty stupid.
Would Be Burglar Gets Stuck In Restaurant Air Duct

(KSDK) - Burglary charges have been filed against a St. Louis man in connection with an overnight incident in which the man allegedly tried to break into a fast food chicken restaurant in north St Louis.
William Sproling, 36, was jailed on a $10,000 bond after police discovered and then rescued the man who was stuck inside a ventilation duct at the Church's Fried Chicken restaurant on North Kingshighway and Palm early Friday morning.
Authorities aren't certain how long Sproling had been stuck inside the dirty, greasy vent. They were notified by nearby residents who heard screams and shouts coming from the area of the restaurant around 3:00 a.m. and called police.
Once rescuers were able to reach the man stuck inside, they were forced to cut his clothing off and cut open the ductwork to try and free him from inside the narrow vent.
After more than an hour, emergency workers eventually got the man loose and pulled him back up through the grease-filled tunnel, and then brought him to jail.
