The bearfoot bandit story

Once upon a time there was boy named Colton Harris-Moore also known as the barefoot bandit, had a rough childhood growing up. His family fought a lot and, his father ended up dying when he was only 9 years old. Not having this father influences, and getting into fights with his mother constantly, he became kind of a trouble maker and had no reason for life as it was. At the age of 12 he thought it would be cool to steal different things. Sometimes these objects he stole were of no use to him, sometimes they were for just luxury. Colton started off stealing little things like a cell phone. As he progressed he thought of steeling an airplane. After his thefts, the cops caught him and he was categorized as a juvenile delinquent. He eventually escaped Juvenile Hall, and he began his crime spree. At the age of 17 he stole his first plane (a Cessna 182) and while in the air he taught himself how to fly. At this point the cops were all over him so he decided to land on the islands of Camano. He also had a partner in crime during these affairs and his code name was Harley Davidson. After one year of stealing 3 planes and avoiding the cops he crash landed for the last time in the Bahamas. This was his last run. The cops finally tracked him down in the Bahamas, after 20,000 plus facebook fans, leaving notes, robbing numerous drug stores, and stealing objects as big as private planes, Colton was a worldwide idol and is proudly given the name Barefoot Bandit.
