Colton Harris-Moore is kind of the modern-day version of John Dillinger, or a one-man Bonnie and Clyde. Despite being on the run from the cops, he managed to get quite a following on Facebook with over 50,000 fans. Harris-Moore, dubbed the Barefoot Bandit for his proclivity for committing his crimes sans shoes and once leaving a chalk drawing of a foot behind as a calling card, was finally captured by authorities in Eleuthera, in the northern Bahamas, after one of the strangest fugitive lives in crime history.
Fittingly, Moore was captured without shoes, which is the perfect end to his two-year run from the police. During that time he stole cars, stole boats, and even once stole an airplane in his quest to avoid jail, which is just mind-blowingly crazy. I mean, how do you even steal an airplane, let alone steal an airplane without formal flying training, let alone fly it 1000 miles from Indiana to Florida?
It’s not a matter of if, but when, this kid gets away from the cops again. Apparently, there’s nothing harder to stop than a barefoot 6’5″ teenager. Except for maybe a naked woman.
