Suspected burglar crushed to death by 900-pound safe: police

quote:

The Marion Police Department said they received a call on Tuesday from a man named George Hollingsworth who believed his garage was broken into. Hollingsworth told police that the door frame was damaged and the garage was so cluttered that he couldn't tell what was stolen, according to a press release.

While cleaning out the garage on Wednesday to see what might have been stolen, Hollingsworth found a body underneath a 900-pound antique floor safe that had evidently fallen over, Deputy Chief Stephen D. Dorsey said.

Well bye

It certainly wasn't the safe space he was seeking

It’s a safe bet he instantly regretted his decision to steal.

How much shite do you have to have in your garage to not notice that your safe was knocked over?!

I can imagine when the thing just began to tilt, he thought "I can handle this" and began to push against it.

And then in an instant he thought "o crap" and it was too late.

Not that I've done that with a candy machine.

It's safe to say he won't be trying that again.

I guess the robber's family can now sue the gun safe manufacturer for making it.

One could safely say he has secured a spot on the list of worst robbers ever.

I would venture to say he vaulted towards the top.
