I could forgive somebody stealing from me for survival reasons. It implies a lot of small scale thefts, no luxuries.

How does one get the appellation of ‘hermit’ vs ‘homeless?’ Is it a simple registration process or does it require certified training?

Does he have any surviving family? Parents, siblings??? Did no one miss him or wonder where he was in those 27 years.

Totally sad.

Think how much he might have accomplished, the best years of his life gone. Sad.

Ever so often someone wants to just drop out of society. I remember seeing an old photo taken around 1900 of several boys who found a hermit living west of Trinidad, CO.

They mentioned they also found the remains of lots of dogs and they figure the hermit was eating them.

Then I havea photo of an abandoned hut east of Aztec NM in which a hermit monk lived for a while. I did a painting of it on my profile.

To: billorites; All
1000+ burglaries?

(Well, NOW, he'll have PLENTY of time to continue reading books and meditating...behind bars)

And, if he doesn't like what's supplied to him in prison, he can proceed to try to pilfer from his fellow inmates...and see where that gets him!

From the article: Knight said he never got sick in those 27 years because he never had contact with any people, Hughes said.

(Well, that'll change in close-quarters prison)
