Hey, I just ran across this story from CNN.com from a few months back about a boy freeing himself from kidnappers. They don't specifically name MacGyver in the article, and the boy doesn't state Mac as an influence or anything- but it does seem that he freed himself from captivity when kidnapped MacGyver-style!
He used a safety pin and a stick to free himself from duct tape- check out the story and video here.

Like MacGyver's supposed nephew?
