Victorian man gets stuck in washing machine during hide and seek prank A GAME of hide and seek has spun out of control after a naked Victorian man became trapped in his washing machine. It took 20 minutes to free the man, with rescuers using olive oil to remove him from the machine at his home at Mooropna, almost 200km north of Melbourne. Sergeant Tim Gleeson said the man had climbed naked into his top-loader while waiting for his partner to come home on Saturday afternoon. "He was trying to surprise his missus and became stuck," Sgt Gleeson told News Corp Australia. Police officers resorted to olive oil to free the man during a delicate operation. Other emergency services including firefighters, paramedics, SES and the Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad were also involved in the rescue.
