The Toolbox Trick
Hidden in Plain Sight
In 2009, Union County Jail in Tennessee saw an escape plan so simple, it was almost genius. Two prisoners squeezed into a large toolbox. The box, filled with tools, was loaded onto a truck and driven out of the jail. Can you imagine the guards’ faces when they realized they’d been outsmarted by a toolbox?
A Simple Yet Effective Plan
This escape was a masterclass in simplicity and patience. The inmates waited until the toolbox was safely outside the prison before making their move. By the time anyone noticed they were missing, they were long gone. Sometimes, the best escape plans are the simplest ones. This one was a real out-of-the-box idea!
