A 3-year-old boy who went missing from his home was found inside a toy claw machine in a bowling alley across the street. The boy's mother called the Lincoln, Nebraska Police Department on April 15, 2014 to report her son had gotten out of their apartment while she was in the bathroom. Police canvassed the area and were notified by a man that a boy was inside the claw machine.
The boy could only have gotten into the machine through the prize hole."You have to weave your way in and out, so he had to work pretty hard to get in there," said Jim Lakey, the owner of the machine. The boy was not paying any attention to anyone outside of the machine "because he was just picking up stuffed animals and putting them down," Rachell Hildreth, a bartender at Madsen's Bowling Alley and Billiards, said.
So did they have to use quarters to get him out? No, Lakey came to the rescue with a key to the machine. The boy was uninjured and allowed to keep one of the stuffed toys from the machine.
