In reply to the discussion: Nancy's alleged laptop thief in custody! [View all]BobTheSubgenius
(11,563 posts)30. Funny story about that. Remember Abby Hoffman?
He shocked everyone by coming back from Mexico years after disappearing and "self-surrendered." He said that he'd taken martial arts to change the way he moved, coloured his hair, took Berlitz language lessons to change the way he spoke....etc. Everything he could think of.
One day, in the little mountain town in which he lived, an American tourist saw him in the street and say "Hey! You're Abby Hoffman!" Said it completely deflated him and he figure he might as well just give up.
Kids today have no commitment.

The anecdote I read said that he had turned himself in while in the US, but that was it for details.
