There has been stuff posted on this guy before, but I thought this added some interesting detail.

His great secret revealed, "If they catch you dead to rights, say something profound, play the hermit philosopher."
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

after first reading of his capture I just wondered why it took so long. Aerial survey/night/thermal vision. He shoulda been bagged 10 years earlier.
I'm not old--It's too early to be this late.

Maybe his thefts were minor enough they didn't consider it worth the effort?

Maybe it evolved into sort of a game for some of them?

A very odd story, nonetheless.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
