Man chasing $20 gets lost in sewer system for two days (1 Viewer)

LAWTON, OK (KTRK) -- An Oklahoma man ended up stuck in his city's drainage pipes for two days, all because he lost a $20 bill.

The man told police he dropped the money into a storm drain so he went in after it. Apparently, he got lost and couldn't find a way back out.

Finally, after two days, some students walking home heard him yelling for help from a manhole. They called 911.

Officers removed the manhole and found the man. He was a bit disoriented and dehydrated, but otherwise fine.

He never found his $20 bill.

Hey, that's a pretty cheap adventure/story, $20 for 2 days in the sewers.

Hey, that's a pretty cheap adventure/story, $20 for 2 days in the sewers.

In fact, it sounds like it has the business potential to be a $299 survival/adventure weekend.

Was he headed for a beach in Mexico? It worked for Andy...

I would have done the same thing as him. It's not a lot of money but it's the principle......

 

[peaces]

Cool story, crappy ending.

If it's an easy grab of the $20, sure. But when the decision becomes going downstream and getting lost or turning back and getting out, I'm out. Poor decision-making that leads to a life threatening situation is dumb no matter the principle.
