The draw of the fuzzy Racoon was just too much to bear….

NEBRASKA – A Nebraska toddler had his eye on the prize when he slipped out of his home and wound up inside a claw machine at a nearby arcade.
Ashley Ireland had called police and begun a frantic search for her son, Kael, after he went missing from her apartment on Monday afternoon.
The three-year-old had managed to open the front door and walk to the nearby amusement arcade, where he was found playing with stuffed toys inside one of the machines.   Kael’s antics had caught the attention of a group of customers in Madsen’s Bowling and Billiards in Lincoln, who alerted staff to the stowaway inside the machine.

A group of friends who had been bowling pointed out the trapped toddler to bartender Rachell Hildreth.
Pretty soon the toddler had a group of about 25 spectators watching him through the glass, as they tried to figure out how he managed to crawl inside.
‘How did he get in there? That’s pretty much what everyone was saying,’ she told WOWT.
Ms Hildreth believes the toddler must have crawled through the chute that the metal claw drops toys into it. (read more with pics and a happy ending)
