Seattle firefighters freed a woman stuck inside a charity donation box Monday morning.

At 4:34 a.m., firefighters responded to a report of a woman trapped inside a 4 feet by 4 feet by 6 feet donation box.

The 26-year-old woman told firefighters she crawled inside the box to gather clothes and was crawling out when her leg became stuck in the anti-theft mechanism.

The technical rescue team used several heavy tools to pry open the mechanism and release the woman’s leg.

The woman declined to be treated.
