Kael Ireland was found inside the “Bear Claw” machine at Madsen’s Bowling & Billiards after he somehow wandered into the establishment and crawled up the game’s prize slot so he could play with the toys inside.

He was just having fun in there. I don’t think he wanted to get out.” Meanwhile the boy’s mother, 24-year-old Ashley Ireland, noticed he was gone and called police immediately. They found the boy in the machine “happily playing with stuffed animals” and he was quickly reunited with his mother. The lucky lad even got to keep a purple teddy bear.
