That's not Santa Claus in your chimney, it's that girl you met online.
Search and rescue crews had to remove a woman who was stuck in a chimney early Sunday morning in Thousand Oaks, California, CBSLA.com reports.
The woman, 30-year-old Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa, was allegedly attempting to enter the home of a man she met online named Lawrence, who preferred to not reveal his last name. Lawrence told local reporters that the two went on a few dates, but he had recently ended their relationship.

Rescue teams had to partially dismantle the chimney and lubricate it with dish soap and water in order to extract Nunez-Figueroa. She was then transported to a hospital and later arrested for illegal entry and providing illegal information to a peace officer, according to KABC.

Lawrence was not at home during the incident, but he said that he found Nunez-Figueroa two weeks ago on his roof and she ran away before the police had arrived.
“You have to be careful who you meet online,” Lawrence told CBS.
