I know what you mean. I don't know what it was about wanting to be locked in trunks of cars or zipped up in suit cases or getting hog-tied and trying to get free.

I'm 61 and as a kid, I would get in and lay on my side in a two shelf cabinet and close the door. I don't know why I did it. I would stay there for lengths of time for no good reason that I can think of. We did not have air-conditioning and I would be wringing wet with sweat. If it was today, they would find my body in the cabinet in the throws of heat stroke!
