Why: Katie posted this link about the teenage "barefoot burglar," who has been stealing things and leaving hilarious calling cards in and around the San Juan Islands north of Seattle. Highlights:
- Surveillance video of some burglaries showed the culprit barefoot — hence the moniker. He's robbed a grocery store, hardware store, bar, coffee-shop, and bank.
- Last fall, a Cessna was stolen from a rural airport in Idaho and crash-landed near Granite Falls, WA. In the airport hangar in Idaho, the plane's owner found actual, rather than chalk, bare footprints, including some on a wall. The culprit had apparently put his feet up while eating.
- Someone broke into a deli on Orcas Island Wednesday night, and its owner arrived Thursday to find large chalk-outline feet drawn all over the floor. Two of the footprints were leading out the door, next to a chalk-scrawled message: "C-YA!"
Answer: Here he is. He's 18:
