Man escapes prison in a cardboard box, MGS style
by Alan Tsang 
{ Nov 18th 2008 at 4:20PM }
Here's a curious incident in Willich, Germany that sounds suspiciously like something out of Metal Gear Solid: a 42-year old Turkish man that was serving a seven-year sentence climbed into a 150cm x 120cm (about 59" x 47") cardboard box and was successful in getting himself delivered out of jail. When an express courier came to the prison to pick up some inmate-produced merchandise, the box containing the prisoner was also loaded onto the truck. As soon as the truck passed through the prison gates, the prisoner made a run for it -- he is currently still at large.

Old News. But very interesting. He must have played Metal Gear at some point in his life.

There goes all those "how stupid is having someone hide in cardboard box" comments.
LOL!!
Twinturbo120 @ Nov 18th 2008 4:59PM
lol wow thats just incredible how he did that and how dumb the prison guards are xD
jon1467 @ Nov 18th 2008 6:29PM
Haha lol. Great way to escape.
I like to think that if I was in prison, I would come up with such a funny way to get out that made the goverment look like idiots.
DETH-DEFIANCE @ Nov 18th 2008 5:08PM
I bet his was using the soliton radar, the noob. Proberly got the box in the food room near the mess hall.
cylet @ Nov 18th 2008 6:29PM
it would have been more impressive had he walked around the prisonyard like in the picture above ^^

adolson @ Nov 18th 2008 5:27PM
I doubt they'll catch him with the new Octocamo.
Gambit07 @ Nov 18th 2008 5:34PM
Kojima would be proud.
Jake @ Nov 18th 2008 5:39PM
one word...Legend!
Turkish Snake @ Nov 18th 2008 5:48PM

natakou @ Nov 18th 2008 6:29PM
wait...how the hell he got out his cell...or even get a hold of a box @ prison? ketchup n a hidden ear piece goes far....
snake-"he colonel i'm hiding in a box"
colonel-"snake you think you can sneak out like that"
snake-"well it worked the 1st time i don't see a reason it wouldn't work colonel!"
*sneaks out n hops on a truck*
smokes a cig n laughs..all that n i didn't have to use my otocamo or mk11..pfft
Batzi @ Nov 18th 2008 6:45PM
I think he called the secret frequency on his codec to open the door to the cell. I know I did that when the Sorrow hinted at it in Snake Eater.
nakedatthecomp @ Nov 18th 2008 7:56PM
minimum and medium security prisoners are often let out to roam around the building and also do chores for the jail - laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. it would have been pretty easy if he was in a minimum/medium prison
DeathroW @ Nov 18th 2008 6:39PM
No place for hideo?
jitty @ Nov 18th 2008 7:06PM
This guy deserves to be out of jail, what epic win LMAO!!!
Brandon @ Nov 20th 2008 2:14AM
Umm....because he escaped in a way that gave direct tribute to a videogame a potential murderer/kidnapper/rapist/thief deserves freedom. .?
Jake @ Nov 18th 2008 7:11PM
I hope it was "box C". That would be epic win! lol
R_Fusion @ Nov 18th 2008 8:29PM
Nice move by him. I wonder if I can do that to go to tonight's party?
Cheese @ Nov 18th 2008 9:42PM
You forgot the part where he was a drug dealer, but I guess that's not important.
j.howlett @ Nov 18th 2008 10:58PM
i used to use the wrong box in the different hangers or whatever to see what happened in mgs 1, don't think it mattered much
Dan Rabot @ Nov 19th 2008 5:02AM
"Huh? it's just a box"
