• Free to roam the great outdoors all by himself for all that time, and they cram him into a cell with a dozen other people. Cruel and unusual punishment.

  • I watched a video on him. Great and very unique story. Sure he stole, but he was harmless and just wanted to live alone. Crazy how he survived some of those winters.

    • 12 days

      1000 burglaries over span of 27 years is actually respectable. People do a lot worse when they need a lot less

        • No robberies. Just burglaries. And only of empty vacation homes. And only for cheap essentials.

          • If I knew there was someone in the woods stealing food, I would have put out cans of food for him, so he doesn’t break in.

            • Me too. It’s bizarre how angry some people get about this guy. I would love to support him by donating whatever he needs in a way that is comfortable for him to receive it.

    • Yeah but apparently he was a terror to those living in the area. They swore it was a ghost because it hard to prove that they were not losing their minds.

      • Can you imagine? “Um… where tf is that giant tub of peanut butter we just bought? And half of my underwear is missing…”

    • Is that the guy who survived sub-zero winter nights with no fire (for maximum stealth) by just staying awake all night?

      • I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to be alone that badly, but I lived alone during the pandemic and went about eight months without seeing another human in person and I already started getting weird. After a certain point, you have to readjust to having people around. I can’t imagine how it would be after that long.
