Alleged burglar gets locked inside truck

WATERLOO, Iowa -- A Waterloo man has been charged with burglary after allegedly breaking into a truck and getting locked inside. Cash Burch, 24, was arrested Wednesday after the owner of a Ford Explorer found him inside his vehicle and called police.


The owner, Mark Laures, said Burch could not get out because the Explorer has an anti-theft device that activates when the battery loses power. Laures said Burch wore down the battery trying to start the Explorer and became locked inside.

Burch damaged the dashboard trying to escape but was still inside the truck when officers arrived. Police opened the door from the outside and charged him with third-degree burglary.

Interesting anti-theft system and very stupid would-be thief.
 
How do you get locked inside a vehicle?

There are physical overrides or alternatives to get outside the vehicle in this situation; just as if you need to get out of the vehicle in case it goes over the side of the bridge over a river.
