The Barefoot-Bandit - This kid is amazing.

Colton Harris-Moore otherwise known as, The Barefoot Bandit, popped up again this weekend in Washington State.  If you don't know who this kid is you should. This kid has eluded authorities for 2 years now.  He's stolen 4 airplanes, which he's self taught himself to fly and crashed 3 of them... and survived  He squats in unoccupied houses and when they come looking for him, he runs out into the woods and hides in the trees subsisting on survival kits.


Say what you will... but I've gotta love this kid.  He is the epitome of fighting the man and flouting authority.  On his latest romp he landed on an island with a population of only 4500 people... and they still can't catch him. At least he's getting better at controlling the aircraft after all he's never landed before. I'm sorry but whoever the FBI has looking for this kid... You're Fired!

This just goes to show you how easy it is to fall off the grid.  No cell phone, no credit cards, no tracking.
