I've seen at least 2 or 3 other stories like this, except that they took place at Chuckie Cheese or its ilk.

A spokesperson for the police said, "Every time we thought the claw had him, he would slip out of its grip."

The police officer who eventually won, is believed to have expressed disappointment that he did not win a Spongebob Squarepants stuffed animal that was also in the machine.

-Mom's not looking.
-I know where there are toys
-Open door
-cross the street

-Play with toys


I wonder if he tried to push the buttons before climbing into the machine.

They're endangered, you know.
