VANCOUVER, Wa. — Generally, you’re supposed to break out of an escape room, not into one. But in Vancouver, Washington, a man had to call the police for help after he broke into NW Escape Experience and couldn’t get out. “Once we got down there [to the business] and realized the damage was minimal, we just thought it was hilarious,” owner Rob Bertrand told CNN Tuesday. Escape rooms have gained popularity in recent years. Groups work together under a time limit, finding clues and solving puzzles, to get out of rooms. The burglar inadvertently tried his hand at the team-building craze on Sunday morning. “When he got in he just kind of made himself at home,” Bertrand said. “He actually stole one beer from the refrigerator. The police say he also had a burrito.” “We assume he was going to have a nice warm breakfast,” he added.

Okay, I get why he took a cell phone and even the beer, but...why in the heck did he want with a TV remote? Not even the TV!
I don't get why he didn't just schedule a game like everyone else. They aren't that expensive. Though I suspect his street cred just dropped to an all time low at this point.
