Well...the first time (yep, it's happened three times) I was out of town, my daughter (10 at the time) had company over. He was in a 20 long with a locking screen lid at that time. Not sure of the 'how' he got out, but he had been in that tank for months and never gotten out, so my thought for that time is that when my daughter and her friend put him away, they didn't get the top latched right.
The second time was a few days after moving him to a 75 gallon aquarium that we had to come up with a cover for. We learned we didn't do a good enough job...lol.
The third time was pretty much the same-we thought we had the top secured, but he managed to push up enough on part of it to get out again.
Now, we only have one side that we can open, and it is secured with latches like that my BF uses at work for panels on diesel trucks. The other side is held down with duct tape...LOTS of duct tape. And my BF wasn't confident that the duct tap was enough, so he also put ratchet straps around the tank on the end we don't open to keep the top from moving. That then posed the question of 'how do I clean all the way to the other end of a 4 ft long tank?' So I went out and got a Swiffer-it works PERFECT with papertowels instead of the swiffer things!
