When a would-be burglar was caught stuck in a store’s ventilation system, he’s got a handy excuse: he was playing hide and seek!
Deputies said Hall had removed the ventilation cover, crawled through the vent, got stuck and set off a fire extinguisher that sprayed powder all over the store, Chiominto said. [...]
Hall told deputies he was playing hide and seek on the roof with some other adults and decided to hide in the ventilation system.
When no one guessed where he was, the other players gave up looking, Hall told police.
Ok, so maybe there is a slight hint of sarcasm incorporated into the title of this video. Apparently there is a learning curve, for some, when it comes to the classic household game of hide and seek. This little "ninja" has a long way to go in terms of mastering the art of finding a stealthy hiding spot. The two images at the end of the video are priceless.

Natalie Jasmer was so good at hide-and-seek that her frantic family called the cops to help them look for the two-year-old toddler:
Natalie went missing Tuesday evening while playing the game with her brother and sisters and the best efforts of neighbors, police and firefighters called by her frantic parents weren’t enough to turn up the tot.
The terrifying ordeal for her parents ended happily after more than an hour of scouring the neighborhood around the 10th Street mobile home park where the Jasmers live.
In the end, it was the family dog that flushed her out.
“Copper found her,” Natalie’s brother Kenny Findley said, crediting the mutt with discovering the tiny girl asleep inside a drawer underneath the washing machine in the family’s home.
