Bookish Thoughts: Barefoot Bandit & Whiskey Robber

Somehow I had missed any news of the Barefoot Bandit until just today when there was a story on him on CNN.

I was shocked at how similar his story is to the Whiskey Robber story that I just reviewed yesterday.

Sometimes it seems like after I read about something, I notice it everywhere, but this is just uncanny.

Here’s the story: Barefoot Bandit: Folk Hero or Crook.

Wild.

    Crazy, huh? I don’t think he’s a hero, but it does prove that truth can be stranger than fiction! Guess we’ll have to wait for the movie. Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio will play him? A la Catch Me If You Can?
