Man Playing Prank Swallows Friend's Truck Key By Mistake

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. -- Arthur Richardson thought he'd pull a prank and pretend to swallow a friend's truck key.

Unfortunately, Wednesday's prank backfired when Richardson plopped the key in his mouth and gravity took over.

Richardson went to a doctor Thursday, who X-rayed his stomach and got a clear picture of the key. The doctor said the key posed no danger, but Richardson's friend needed to use his truck.

So Richardson and his friend took the X-rays to a locksmith, who used the pictures to fashion a new key. And it worked in the truck.

John Somers, owner of Al's Lock and Safe, said he'd never made a key before from an X-ray image.

"I have done all sorts of lock work, I've done all sorts of safe work," Somers said. "This is truly a first in my career."
