Maine Hermit Myth Hatched

Often between the hours of 8 and 10 when I work evenings, the store is absolutely dead and I'm pretty much alone and bored during these times. What do I do to relieve the bordom??? Google. I found the most interesting story that I will simple describe as the Maine Hermit Myth (also a link, you're welcome in advance). Basically, there is this guy who went unidentified for almost 30 years and decided to camp out secretly in the woods. For any needs and necessities, he took the Robin Hood method and stole from the rich (subjectively) and gave to the poor - himself, who had nothing.  After a while of seeing evidence to various break ins but absolutely no explanation behind them, this character became a legend that parents would tell their kids around the camp fire  to kind of spook them. I thought the most interesting part of this article is after he has been caught he explain to the police and post incarceration in a letter that, there was no need to keep track of days and months so his memory is by events. According to this guy, who identifies himself as Christopher, he segregated himself from society completely at the age of twenty after the Chernobyl event. He doesn't know the status on his family, he has never seen the internet, nor participating in legal activities such as having an address, or turning in tax returns. It just baffles me that a person can just fall through the cracks of society one day and become a myth the next, until his face surfaces and becomes a reality.
