Between a rock and a hard place

It turns out the night before police had been called to a burglary in progress in the area. The perp ran away and was able to elude police by jumping over the walls and fences around the neighboring houses. The police gave up. They came back the next morning as the fire department was breaking a cement block boundary wall apart to free a man who had squeezed between the wall and the back of a garage and been trapped there all night.

The man had been hugging huge racks of still warm left-over barbecue ribs as his only source of heat.
