Apparently America has found its newest teen sensation, no not Hannah Montana, but someone equally as terrible, and 10 times more amusing. Colton Harris-Moore, 18 of Washington state (also known as the "Barefoot Burglar") is the prime suspect on over 50 burglary cases, plane thefts (and crashes) in Washington State. Police are supposedly testing vomit found in one of the aircraft wreckages to trace Harris-Moore, as it seems even he can't stomach his lack of aerodynamic experience.
Fast becoming a National celebrity - for all the wrong reasons, Colton has earned himself an army of online reinforcements. Despite Facebook closing down his fan page with 3000+ followers, he still has his own website, support in the form of T-shirts and a mother egging him on with comments such as "I hope to hell he stole those aeroplanes, I would be proud" strongly suggesting that "Colt" has almost as many allies as he does enemies.
With a number of juvenile offenses under his belt, Colton seems to have authorities wrapped around his little finger, or perhaps the contents of his stomach - who knows. CCTV sightings of Harris-Moore have been little help to the investigation, despite coming packed and ready with obvious pieces of evidence such as foot prints and blood stains - to which one can't help but wonder if really, US authorities don't want to catch little Colt, because the nature of his act is just so amusing?
Either way, it would be interesting to see what this little Jesse James has to say for himself and his life of crime. Next mission, Colt leader?
