The Barefoot Bandit - Colton Harris Moore

Twisted Travel and True Crime

The boy was tired, dirty and hungry. He climbed up the side of the house using the window ledge to boost himself up to the roof. He’d been to this house before. His muddy bare feet barely left a mark on the metal roof. His tracks snaked along the roof line then disappeared near the window that, he knew, had been left unlocked. He quietly slipped inside. The house was currently unoccupied but he was quiet nonetheless. He crouched listening to the silence just to make sure. When he was reassured that he was alone, he made his way downstairs to the freezer. Inside, was just what he needed, frozen pizza and ice cream. The thought of food made him smile. He started the oven, placing the pizza inside then showered while it cooked. He started a load of laundry too. He ate his pizza while watching TV then made sure to clean up afterwards. Feeling warm, clean and satiated he decided he’d sleep here tonight. It certainly beat sleeping outdoors like he was used to. This hungry boy, named Colton Harris Moore would grow into a 19 year old felon and "folk hero", who had a penchant for stealing boats and planes. His final act was stealing an airplane in Bloomington, Indiana and crashing it in the Bahama islands hours later.
