"I'm still in here!"

Um, sure, construction noises can be kind of loud, but yelling and pounding on things is a good way to get the workers to stop:

A Minneapolis man said he was preparing to leave his foreclosed home for the last time when contractors boarded up the house with him still inside.

Ted Poetsch, 53, said he was finishing packing and loading his cat into its carrier May 12 when he heard drilling coming from the frame of his front door, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Monday.

[...]

Poetsch said he escaped his house-turned-prison with the help of his one-time lawyer, Josh DuBois.

This is where I make a "Habeas Crowbar" joke, right?
