Seattle News


'A 2009 Cirrus Aircraft model SR22 was stolen from Friday Harbor Airport and recovered at Eastsound Airport. The plane belongs to a Portland man. The aircraft had damage to the landing gear, the cargo door lock was missing, the left side door loc was damaged and the right side door lock was missing. Attempts to find fingerprints inside were unsuccessful. The theft was believed to be related to the Colton Harris-Moore case.'

from Sheriff log from San Juan County.

Well I guess the theory that Cirrus airplanes are too high performance for a low time pilot just got blown out of the water.

Investigators found vomit in the cockpit and a sample has been sent to the state crime lab to determine whether it came from Harris-Moore.

How bad is the aircraft theft problem in Canada? Anyone keeping track of this?

What pisses me off the most is his fan club made up of 13, 14 and 15 year old girls and boys saying this kid is so badass because he jacked a 182. Thank god this happened in the states though. If it was in Canada he'd be out in a few years with our sissy judicial system.
Wait until this kid fly's into IMC. It won't just be vomit they find in the front seat.

Why do people idolize this douche? He's not even stealing and giving it to the poor. I pray he get shot in the nuts (9mm or taser).
