When Games Meet Reality – Prison Inmate Escapes Using Cardboard Box

Wednesday 19 November 2008 @ 4:03 pm | By Sol

 

Clearly a fan of the Metal Gear Solid Series, a Turkish prisoner escaped using a cardboard box.

“The 42-year-old Turkish citizen – who was serving a seven-year sentence – had been making stationery with other prisoners destined for the shops.

At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier.

Shortly after it had passed through the prison gates, the inmate made his dash for freedom by cutting a big hole in the tarpaulin of the lorry and jumping off.”

Solid “Turkish” Snake is on the loose somewhere in western Germany, presumably in search of giant mecha.
