Guy Tells A Story Of How He And His Friends Found Tunnels Under Their School And Planned A Candy Heist

School as a concept is anything but exciting with its strict formalities and serious focus on education, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t actually be fun.

School can be a very exciting place, whether it is due to amazing teachers with their great personalities and lessons, or the students themselves seeking out adventure in the school halls… or the underground.

In our case, it’s the latter.

While schools are a place of learning, they are also, naturally, a place of mischief among students

Dean Lines, a screenwriter from Manchester, England, recently took to Twitter to respond to a question originally posted on Reddit: what was “the incident” in your high school? What followed was a hilariously crazy story about an elaborate plan to break into the school’s vending machine storage through underground tunnels that Dean and his friends had accidentally found whilst skipping French class

Bored Panda got in touch with Dean Lines for an interview.

A twitter user recalls a story where he and his friends went on an elaborate “candy heist” in his school

Apparently, Dean’s school had hatches that led to underground tunnels for the heating system

The gang figured out that they can gain access to the school’s storage room through the tunnels

Much to Dean’s surprise, this story went viral: “I was very surprised to see the story go viral. I’ve posted a few other tales from my misbegotten youth but never had a response like this. It’s lovely to see so many people enjoying a story I’ve told a thousand times before in the pub… but at the same time, it’s overwhelming. The sheer number of likes, retweets, and comments pretty much crashed my phone instantly.”

So, they make an elaborate plan, gather all of the necessities, and enter the tunnels

The first sign of trouble: the underground surroundings are different this time, hindering their progress

“Other than fixing all the horrible typos, I wish I had included the small mini heist that took place the week before we decided to go back into the tunnels,” elaborated Dean. “Someone got word there was a schematic of the school building on Tommy the Caretaker’s office wall. So, we spent a morning figuring out a way of getting our hands on that to help navigate the tunnels. We ended up getting it but it was useless. It just had the above-ground layout. Just another dead end…”

What first started off with slight obstacles, ended up with someone’s hand inside a carcass of a fox

They lose it and bolt out of the tunnels, making a great deal of noise along the way

Determined to crack the vending machine storage room, they try again a week later

If there’s one story, there are bound to be more. Bored Panda asked if there are others that he’ll be sharing in the future. He said this: “More in the future? There’s the time we robbed the local dairy and got caught by my mom who worked there and yet somehow managed to convince her not to trust her lying eyes.”

“I still feel bad about that one. But yeah, there must be a dozen other stories like that. I’m sure they’ll get posted eventually. Usually, when I’m avoiding doing the real work of making up imaginary stories to pay the bills…”

However, the jig is up when word gets out and now everyone wants a piece of the action

A teacher stumbled upon them and 28 students had to be extracted out of the tunnels by the fire brigade

The story goes that Dean and his friends accidentally found a hatch in the school’s drum room that led to underground heating system maintenance tunnels. Because of the way the school was built, they quickly figured out that they could access the school’s vending machine storage, where the candy was theirs for the taking.

Thus, a candy heist was now in the works. They made an elaborate plan, got all of the needed equipment, and made the necessary preparations. Unfortunately, despite what seemed like very sufficient planning, the first “expedition” was interrupted by a dead fox carcass.

The second try had to be it—they prepared even more and for every possible hindrance. However, word got out about the heist and now everyone wanted a piece of the action. The jig was up when the music teacher walked in on 28 students attempting to use the tunnels to get to the storage room.

Despite being caught, nobody really knew who was to blame for this and it seems that Dean and his friends got off scot-free. And it turned out to be an amazing read—as of this article, the tweet thread has received over 325,000 likes with over 65,000 retweets.
