Prison Inmate Escapes Jail Using Cardboard Box
Posted on 14 November 2008 by Erik
In true gamer fashion a Turkish man has escaped from a German prison Solid Snake style by making use of a cardboard box.
The man hid in the box at the end of a shift of his prison job of making stationery and was carried out by a courier service along with other boxes. The inmate then cut through a tarp in the truck and jumped out shortly after the vehicle left the prison grounds. The driver eventually noticed the tarp flapping in the wind and reported the cut to the police.
Beate Peters, the warden of the Willich prison presumes that the man had accomplices outside the prison, and a manhunt is underway throughout western Germany.

Next time the guards shouldn’t leave BOX A in the Stationary Room.

See, this is how you do it. This is the sort of stuff that the Video teaches you.

Metal Gear?

Now that is one smart guy. Solid Snake Style???? sure, but its sounds more like MC Guyver style!!!!
November 14th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
did he use pron to distract the guards, while he had a cig going through an invisible laser room, to get to said BOX A?
November 14th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
He’s just a rookie. Did he do all that whilst stopping Liquids insurrection, battling sickness and being surrounded by a variety of enemies who walk around with their heads in their asses? I think not.
I’m getting too old for this…*grunt* (knuckles back)

November 15th, 2008 at 11:00 am
I’m just surprised there’s a prison that hasn’t studied MGS escape tactics…the games are cheap!
I blame the prison for being ill-prepared
November 15th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I can’t believe it’s still cool to say “Epic”.
November 15th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Oh, snap! That guy is my hero. Snake, watch out, you have some serious competition!!! I smell that guy getting sued by Kojima OR Kojima saying to the press; “TOLD YOU IT WORKS!!!” Really nice, dude. My hat’s of to ya!!! Clever dude,I salute you.

I have no idea what the guy was in jail for in the first place. Even if he went on a killing spree, his brilliance deserves to be rewarded. I hope he never gets caught.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Man that was great. EPIC WIN ! ! ! !

Hey internet people! Why don’t you try being unique for once in you god damn life, saying “EPIC” and “WIN” does not make you cool when every f’in kid in the world, going through puberty, uses the word.

Supertard, at least you KNOW that you’re fool.
Didn’t you read the first line?
“In true gamer fashion a Turkish man has escaped from a German prison Solid Snake style by making use of a cardboard box.”
In true gamer fashion, means that it was in a game before, not that the screenshot was actually from the prison? Like who would take a picture of a box in a jail in the first place? you’re fool, we’re not the gullible ones.
