BRADLEY STOKE, Englan - Police in Britain said a man who attempted to take used clothes from a donation bin became trapped in the container for 4 hours. 
Investigators said security camera footage of the area in Bradley Stoke, England, depicts the 28-year-old man being boosted into the bin by an accomplice who was then chased away from the scene by security officers, the BBC reported Tuesday. 
Police said the man was trapped in the bin for about 4 hours while firefighters worked to remove the top of the container. 
The man, from Filton, England, was arrested on suspicion of theft and released with a warning, police said.

    Sounds like a clothes call. Rescue efforts were obviously hampered.

    Besides, the magistrate, in good time, will give him a proper dressing down.

    The man, from Filton, England, was arrested on suspicion of theft and released with a warning, police said. That may have brought him some Cheer, but will it deter the gent?

    Well, the tides are changing.
Used to make them roll back their sleeves and get dirty at hard labor, now they just hang them out to dry.

    In an emergency a dumpster can provide both food and shelter.

    You’ve got a point. Goodwill is hard to come by these days.
