BAGLEY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A woman was rescued Tuesday from an outhouse toilet in northern Michigan after she climbed in to retrieve her Apple Watch and became trapped.
First responders were called when the woman was heard yelling for help. The toilet was removed and a strap was used to haul the woman out.
“If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area. Serious injury may occur,” state police said in the release.
The state police did not say Wednesday if the woman was injured or if the watch was recovered.

It is a measure of our culture that such a statement is required.
LOL! Oldie but a goodie….
You know, this sounds like a great test for voting rights. If you are willing to dumper dive for a phone, you should NOT be allowed to vote. Or be President.
What a sh*tty story.
I know iPhones are expensive, especially the latest generations, but, uh, no…
Who knows where she was from as this happened at a resort.
But the area itself is solid Trump country. Right up the road from me.
The few times I go in a porta-toilet is almost only to do #1 and I make a concerted effort to not look in the hole.
Well, there are maybe a few better places to put a device that spies on you constantly, (like dumped in the crater of an active volcano), but an outhouse pit will do in a pinch.
Jeez, lady, for a couple of bucks a month just add theft and loss protection to your AppleCare!
Sources say it still works but has crappy reception.
The last 50 people didn’t flush!
Wedding ring? Probably not even that.
Exactly.
This was actually a brief feature on the humorous end segment of CourtTV’s Closing Arguments last night.
RE: I swear every woman I see in a car driving, has their phone in their hand. And many are texting.
As a last resort they look up at traffic going through a busy intersection where the other cars have the right of way on a red light.
LOL
Some jackass ahead of me at a stoplight was playing with her phone so took a long time to wake up on the green light. Meanwhile, behind me, some punk kid staring at his phone pulled ahead based on his peripheral vision as the second lane moved, tapping my rear bumper. Driving my wife’s Lexus, it was still an $800 repair. She was pissed for months.
Sorry to hear your story.
I thought the rear ending of a car is the fault of the driver of the vehicle behind.
We have something worse to worry about. A handful of stories were allowed to get into the media “Self-driving car sails through intersection on red light and causes crash.” Wonder how many were suppressed.
If you had to fall into a cess-pit, Northern Michigan is the place to do it - natural, forested, clean air, good country folks, etc....
You can always buy another watch, but you cannot buy back your dignity...
Reminds me of the story about guy sees his brother with a long stick with a nail on it fishing around in the hole asked what he was doing he said I dropped my coat down there.
He asked his brother you don’t want the coat with s**t on it do ya his brother damn the coat my lunch was in the pocket.
