It’s not exactly clear how a Florida teen found himself locked inside the vault of an abandoned bank, but thankfully authorities were able to help him get out.
The 17-year-old, who has not been named, found himself in the vault of an abandoned Bank of America in Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon, CBS Miami reported.
