A Lawsuit Is in Order

If there was ever a case for a lawsuit and criminal penalties, this is it:

An alleged burglar was rescued Thursday after he got stuck overnight in the oven vent of the convenience store he was trying to rob, the fire department said.

Investigators said Lonnie Shields, 37, climbed into a small vent on the roof of the New City Mart at about 2 a.m. and wasn't found until store employees arrived at about 8 a.m.

Let's hope that Mr. Shields is compensated with a large reward for his suffering due to a careless (or willful?) convenience store manager who installed this trap oven vent. And yes, this also qualifies as a hate crime.
