He's becomeing quite the legend. With no formal flight training he flew from indiana to the bahamas. If you ran across him would you help him or turn him in?

I'd probably help...he's been making the people looking for him look like idiots and assholes for years now. Good for him that he's still on the run which, for him, is being free. I can't wait to see how he gets off that island, though. (sea turtles?)

That kid is a genius no doubt; I would turn him in though, there is probably a huge reward from the authorities. :-)

You're right about that, but I'm sure they're no strangers to boat theft. Odds are that they're going to have more security features in place than the people in the PacNW did. I'm not going to put anything past this guy though.

This picture: taken with a stolen camera while wearing a shirt he got from the backseat of a car he stole. The kid is pretty awesome.

I'd give him the opportunity to compensate me for not turning him in, otherwise I could use 10 grand.

"I'm not here to save him from you, Sherrif. I'm here to save you from him". (Or something like that).

Rambo 1 and 2 were the fucking shit. 3 was a little out there and I never saw 4.

Bin Laden has thousands of people ready do help him at a moment's notice. This kid, he's doing all this solo. Pretty impressive.

Blessed are the murderous.

Not Guilty Plea in Barefoot Bandit Case in Seattle

SEATTLE (AP) - Colton Harris-Moore, who gained a popular following as the "Barefoot Bandit," has pleaded not guilty to all charges in federal court in Seattle.

The 20-year-old is accused of a two-year cross-country burglary spree in stolen cars, boats and planes — some of the crimes allegedly committed while he was barefoot. He entered his plea Thursday.

Harris-Moore's lawyer, John Henry Browne, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Darwin Roberts previously said in court they hoped to have a plea deal reached by the end of last month that would provide the framework for resolving state and federal charges.

The deal would've allowed money from book or movie deals to be used as restitution to crime victims. But in the past few days, prosecutors have said they're reluctant to let Harris-Moore sell his story.

He pleaded not guilty to everything? That's not going to go over well with the judge.
