I think the "lost boy" theory is an interesting one. Might explain some of the odd behavior.

How about this theory: he’s a whacked-out a**hole.

He must have just gotten back from the Occupy Wall Street protests...

Here's an update:
Authorities tracing phone of recluse mountain man's family
Troy James Knapp is a wanted man, a mountain recluse authorities say is responsible for more than two dozen cabin burglaries in the remote southern Utah wilderness. He's considered armed and dangerous, a ticking time bomb. After more than five years on the loose, a virtual ghost in the woods, authorities say they have finally identified their suspect. Now they just have to catch him.

He doesn’t exist. It’s all made up. We would have found him by now, or found his body, or some of his stuff. All we have are these big fake footprints and messed up cabins.
Can’t be real. Just people trying to collect on fake insurance claims. That’s got to be it.

Look up the ‘Cookie bandit’ in New Mexico a year or two ago. He had the same lifestyle,, breaking into cabins, stealing, living like a mountain man. People didn’t take him seriously,, just thought he was a nusiance. He was finally caught in the act, killed a deputy and was then killed by the other deputy.
It turned out that he was living this lifestyle because he was on the run from a few thrill killings in northern California. A first class low life.

If so, then he’s a rich whacked-out a**hole.

The solution is for cabin owners to store in some poisoned food.

The Animal Planet channel has an extensive series looking for him. Goes by “squatch”.

CEDAR CITY — After years of searching and dead leads, police believe they have positively identified a reclusive burglar responsible for dozens of burglaries among the luxury cabins in the mountains near Cedar City.
The Kane and Iron County sheriff’s offices say the man is Troy James Knapp, 44.
“This positive identification of this suspect is the result of good old fashioned investigative work along with tips provided by the public,” the agencies said in a statement. “We have followed up on hundreds of leads before finally identifying this suspect.”
An arrest warrant has been issued for Knapp, and he has been charged with two counts of burglary, a count of aggravated burglary and one count of possession of a firearm by a restricted person.

I'd be reluctant to go back to my cabin too, until this guy is caught.
