LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) Authorities say a man who was freed from a space between two walls of a Colorado department store may have been there for several days yelling for help.

-16 in Denver this morning apparently. Maybe he was trying to stay warm?

Getting trapped between department store walls...I hate when that happens.

“Longmont Fire Department spokeswoman Molly Meehan says Felyk entered the building through a vent on the roof for unknown reasons.”

[MrB]

Must have been looking for the Men’s shoes department.

[Uncle Miltie]

Just another brick in the wall.

[Bettyprob]

Legalized weed?

[mountn man]

Just an Amish man trying to get a jump on the days work.

Was it a “WallMart”?

Yeah, I buy that. NOT.

I'm sure his reasons for being there were completely innocent. He probably parked in the wrong spot, got lost, and thought that was another entrance. Never mind that he has prior convictions for robbery, trespassing, assault, driving while ability impaired, theft and criminal mischief, and had previously been caught violating parole.

He should say he dropped his car keys, or he was looking for his cat.

[Wage Slave]

Perhaps he was searching for a cask of Amontillado.

“...entered the building through a vent on the roof...”

I’ll bet he doesn’t try that one again.

Felyk is thought to be a transient, and the Times-Call reported that he has prior convictions for robbery, trespassing, assault, driving while ability impaired, theft and criminal mischief. Police are looking into the incident as a possible burglary or trespassing and the Times-Call reported that charges are pending. Authorities are also investigating whether Felyk’s presence in the building led to other businesses to have issues with Internet service, phone lines, and heating systems.

Based on Alex's post, I bet he does try that again.

Indeed they have to get the money from some place.Colorado is going to pay a heavy price for it see California.

I’ve been involved is a lot of construction and can’t figure out why there is room enough for a man between the inner and outer walls???????Most plumbing, wiring etc is between inside walls to protect from weather.

I believe it’s an insulating feature - like a type of air buffer, that provides for some additional insulation for the building - I’ve also heard it’s a fire safety feature and helps keep some types of fire from spreading too quickly. But then again, I’m no engineer.
