Alan Reed’s Daily Doof And Other Stuff

A Seattle burglar recently had to be rescued by firefighters after he got stuck in an air duct. The man stole soda from a vending machine before a resident caught him. The thief tried to escape by cutting through some drywall. When that failed, he tried to crawl out of the apartment building through a vent, but got stuck. Firefighters cut him free. When they asked if he needed medical attention, he said, "heroin."
