A man who was reportedly trying to break into a vacant Chinese restaurant in California got stuck in the grease vent for two days.
Firefighters responded to the shuttered business on Wednesday morning in San Lorenzo. Upon arrival, they heard moaning coming from inside the building, and learned there was a man stuck in the duct of the hood above the stove, according to the Alameda County Fire Department.
“The response was upgraded to a rescue. An adult male was extricated from the vent system within 30 minutes of firefighters arriving at the scene,” the fire department said in a post on Instagram.
The suspected burglar told his rescuers he’d been in the small vent for two days.

He was in there for 2 days. There’s more than grease in that vent.
“DARWIN’ awardee.
How much of that is cat grease?
Let me guess, an illegal immigrant.
I hate when that happens.
Moral of the story: Don’t break into Chinese restaurants.
Two hours later he’ll want to go back into the vent.
I wonder what he thought would be of value worth stealing inside that place
Honestly officer, I was just passing by and heard
a cat in distress up on the roof. When I climbed up
there, it seemed to be coming from the kitchen vent.
So, naturally I was concerned...etc.
funny!
funny!

A grease-covered Cipriani admitted trying to burgle the pizza place after pleading with police to rescue him from the air vent, thinking he was going to die
A burglar attempting to break into a pizza restaurant ended up pleading with police to rescue him after he became wedged in an air vent right over the hot fat fryer.
A grease-covered Timothy Cipriani, 46, from New York, was discovered by the general manager of Paesan’s pizza place when he was responding to a fire alarm late on Friday night.
John Risko said he got the midnight call from his boss asking him to go over and check it out.
He did not suspect anything except a false alarm but when he got inside, he discovered the would-be burglar.
He said: ‘I come in, turn off the alarms, take a peek into the kitchen and see this guy’s legs dangling out of the hood over the stove in the kitchen.’
The 46-year-old was screaming for help after climbing a tree to the roof, breaking into the air duct and immediately becoming stuck.
Spokesman for Rotterdam police Lt Michael Brown said: ‘He became extremely distraught when he realised he was stuck over the fryer.
‘He said he thought he was going to die. The fryer had been used all day so it may have been generating some heat.’
Fire fighters look like they’re getting a laugh out of it!
