An unnamed man in Goosen's Close, Greater London, UK, arrived home late Thursday night and realized he was locked out of his home. That's when he should have called someone for help, but instead he hatched a ingenious scheme to get inside.
He decided the best course of action was to stack two wheelie bins on top of his car, climb them and get through his bathroom window.
The agile man managed to clamber up the two wheelie bins and got as far as the window ledge before realising he was too big to fit through the window.
His luck then got worse when his tower of wheelie bins collapsed leaving him stranded on the narrow ledge.
The story doesn't mention how long he was there before Sutton fire department was summoned. Firefighters managed to get the man down by ladder, and a smaller firefighter was able to fit through the window and unlock the door. Link -via Arbroath

Rookie mistake. Everyone knows that the way into any house is through the chimney. Hey, it works for Santa.
