Man oh man, this guy was ready to rock and roll.

Cut through the ceiling, dropped in, stole $100,000 in cash...now the getaway...Charles climbed back through the hole in the roof and made his dash, leaping onto a neighboring rooftop. This is were his trouble started, he cut himself on a window...Leaving a trail of blood, oops. So how do you get off this roof and getaway? He stuffed himself in full disguise I might add, into a duct. So wait...this dude in a wig or dreadlocks, tries to getaway by squeezing into a duct of a neighboring office building? Ok, sounds good but what's next, scoot down the duct to freedom right? Nope, Charles was packed in tight and stuck. Stuck in a duct.

Luckily the police followed his path and followed his trail of blood, to the duct where we was stuck. Charles was arrested, and saved.
