Eastsound, Washington Barefoot Burglar Colton Harris-Moore
on October 7, 2009 at 5:40 pm
For the past year and a half Colton Harris Moore has boldly gone where no teen has gone before. The 18 year old burglarizes vacation homes while island hopping in Western Washington State.
Breaking into homes (and some businesses) where he raids the fridge, rests on couches, steals electronics, takes pictures of himself (Left) and seems to be leaving purposeful barefoot prints most everywhere he goes.
The sheriff says it’s not funny as a more serious matter has ensued, Colton has stolen three small planes and crash landed them – leaving a trail of bare footprints behind.
An interesting story to be sure. If one wonders how the boy got himself into so much silly trouble we need to go to the last paragraph in the article to see what his Mom has to say about all this. Island-hopping burglary suspect eludes police
His mother said she doesn’t see anything wrong with what he’s suspected of doing. "I hope to hell he stole those airplanes — I would be so proud," Pam Kohler told a reporter, noting her son’s lack of training. "But put in there that I want him to wear a parachute next time."
I have to ask our Senior Northwest Coast correspondent here if the area is prone to meth labs? Mushroom forests? Children fathered by Randle McMurphy?

This kid is becoming the bonnie and clyde; john dillinger, Billy the Kid, of the 21st century for the Northwest! Now the cops are claiming he has fired a single potshot at them with a gun.
As the West Coast Correspondent, you are spot on with all three counts! There is reported to be abundant mushrooms, many meth labs, and a lot of moisture which seeps into the wee brains of the children whose sire is often in question. I kinda have to agree with Pammy, (that’s what I call her Pammy) – it’s rare we get a young un with that much initiative or brains. He’s a lucky lil’ imp, isn’t he!
