man tricked into wrecking hotel room

[Amby 490]

Pranksters tricked a motel guest into smashing up his room in a search for hidden cameras and a trapped dwarf.

The 73-year-old man wrecked the television, mirrors, the toilet and a wall before realising he had been duped.

Joseph Jones was staying at a Motel 6 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, when he received a late night telephone call, reports local media.

The caller claimed to be the motel manager and asked Mr Jones to help him get rid of highly sophisticated cameras installed by the previous guest.

He told the pensioner to unplug the television and use the toilet cover to smash it open. When the TV didn't break, Mr Jones was told to throw it out of the window.

The man then said more cameras were hidden behind the mirrors and ordered Mr Jones to smash them with a wrench he found in his room.

The caller then claimed a 4ft 3ins midget was barricaded in the next room and asked him to try to break through the internal wall to help police free him.

Mr Jones managed to break through to the next room before his rampage of destruction was ended following complaints from other motel guests.

Police said the incident was similar to a number of similar pranks played on hotel and motel guests throughout the US. No charges were filed.

A Motel 6 spokesman said: "We are grateful that, although the room and its contents suffered damage, none of our guests or team members were injured as a result of this incident."

This is sick. There were several incidenta a while ago where some scumbag posed as a police officer and had people strip searching young girls. It's so hilarious to pick on an old man, five minutes alone with these morons in a steel cage is all I ask. You know what's really funny, the sound bones make when they break.
