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 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.
He's suspected of taking thousands of dollars from safes and ATMs at businesses in the Orcas Island hamlet of Eastsound.
Authorities say Harris-Moore now is suspected of taking three planes from rural airports and crash-landing them.
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 said, noting her son's lack of training. "But put in there that I want him to wear a parachute next time."
