09-09-09 (2:38 pm PST) Was just notified by one of the owners of the the Facebook page that it has just been restored after being suspended most of the day by Facebook without proper explanation.
Colton Harris-Moore took this self-portrait, found on a stolen digital camera and provided Tuesday by the Island County Sheriff’s Office, in July 2009. Harris-Moore, 18, is suspected in about 50 burglary cases since he slipped away from a halfway house in April 2008.
The saga is beginning to feel like something out of the movie “Catch Me If You Can,” as Harris-Moore keeps finding new ways to embarrass police by slipping through their grasp.
The 18-year-old typically breaks into businesses or unoccupied vacation homes, lies down on the couch and then dashes into the woods if confronted. He earned himself the nickname of “the barefoot burglar” by committing some of his crimes without wearing shoes.
But authorities say the case has taken on a dangerous new dimension now that Harris-Moore is apparently joyriding in small aircraft.
