MattFancy Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/08/washington.barefoot.burglar/index.html The 18-year-old man police call the prime suspect does not have a pilot's license. But he does have a nickname -- "The Barefoot Burglar" -- and a Facebook fan club, which compares him to Jesse James "without the murders" and exhorts: "Fly, Colt, Fly." Police say Colton "Colt" Harris-Moore has been linked to crimes in five counties involving planes, luxury cars and boats. He's known to alternate between squatting in vacant vacation homes, which he allegedly burglarizes, and roughing it in the woods. This kid is crazy. I would imagine it would be hard for someone with no flying experience to just go around stealing planes and flying them. But if its true, that's wild. I think its wild that he lives in the woods. Doesn't seem like his mom cares much about it all. Just seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 With any luck he'll be captured and locked up for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a young kid with no training can fly planes that good, imagine how good he'd be if we trained him to fly a Stealth Bomber !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 He's a smart kid who has decided that stealing is the way lead his life. He's been convicted and sent to Juvie, but that wasn't enough of a wake up call for him. So smart kid needs to be locked up until he learns the very simple lesson that stealing=bad.

Mickalino Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 he's been on the run for a while now on the run, or on the fly ? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Harris-Moore has not been charged in any of the plane thefts. But authorities are testing vomit found in the ****pit of one plane. :puke: must have happened when he crashed the plane. Although, if I crashed a plane, I would have :pooh: "Your honor, I'd like to present Prosecution Exhibit : 'Upchuck' " Harris-Moore has been on authorities' radar for years. "Colt," as he is called. Somebody start a "Cult of Colt Harris-Moore" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
