All Locked Up After Drunken Prank

With the Red Sox leading the AL East and no big news stories about the ailing MBTA this week, Bostonist went out looking for some news that gets overlooked. Sure, everyone knows that auto insurance is decreasing this year for Mass drivers and that the Patriots face off against the Bengals this Friday, but there are some hidden jewels (pun intended) out there. The Herald pointed out this telling tale of a drunken New Hampshire man who awoke to find that his buddy had, oh how should we put it, locked up his “package” with an actual pad lock. Bostonist assumes that the man had a killer hangover, which only added to the problem when the key in the lock broke and turned to a hacksaw to get it off. This guy was a patient one and walked around for two weeks until he finally caved, calling the Brentwood police for a little assistance. A local locksmith saved the day, of course. The questions is: was this front page news at the Portsmouth Herald on Friday?
