The Barefoot Bandit’s Fun
On one bright and sunny day in Seattle , Washington Colton
Since Colt had none of that he became extremely stressed and couldn’t sleep at night. Colt was lost on what to do and since the counselor and drugs were not working he turned to theft. It only started off as a little thing for fun stealing minor little things. But the more he did it the more obsessed he became with it. Pretty soon Colt realized he would need a side kick for help and guidance in what he did. By the age of 14 Colt had found a kid by the name of Harley Davidson who had the same passion as Colt and was willing to help him. Harley taught Colt how to be sneaky in the forest and in neighborhoods, and how to pick locks. Pretty soon the duo was on a burglary spree breaking into buildings and stealing cars and boats and getting people’s credit card numbers in order to buy things for themselves. They were known for stealing cars and filling them with stolen items and dropping them off at Colts house, then filling the car’s gas tanks up, and cleaning the fingerprints of the car and returning it to the owner. Then one day police arrived at Colts house and discovered all the stolen items in a tent in his backyard. Colt was taken to a juvenile detention center to serve time for the things he had done. Soon there after his sidekick Harley Davidson turned himself in knowing Colt had been caught and wasn’t getting out anytime soon. However, unknown to Harley, Colt hated where he was and planned to escape.

After a successful escape he decided that he wasn’t going back to one of those places easily and that he was going to run and the police would have to catch him.
Colt had a love for airplanes and decided that he wanted to fly. However, he would not be able to do the conventional way of going to flight school, but instead he would have to teach himself. Colt read up on books to do with flight and used other people’s credit cards to make up names for online classes and simulations. Finally, after months of studying he decided it was time to fly. But in order to do so he would need to steal a plane. After carefully laying out his options he decided to go to a nearby airport called Orcas Island Airport
Suddenly Colt became famous for what he was doing and everybody knew about it. Most people told him,”U the man, keep it up” and “I can’t believe what you are doing”. Zack Sestak was the man who was responsible for getting Colt so famous via a page on Facebook. People even started making t-shirts with his picture on it. This is when Colt got the name the Barefoot Bandit.
