Outstanding!!! I know that panic. My Chelsea-cat escaped on me when I was in grad school and she was gone about a week. Came home one day with a notch out of her ear and a scar on her nose. Never tried to leave again. Then last week, I lost my little Maeve for about 12 hrs. Turned out she was quietly locked inside my armoire, sitting there on some nice comfy cords, never making a peep.

I'm so glad that you had some teens with just the right tool to get into the manhole cover.
