You Can't Catch Me.

Okay so I know that supporting a criminal is not the best of ideas but this guy is so freaking awesome and the cops are so freaking dumb its unbelievable. His name is Vassilis Paleokotas a.k.a the Robin Hood of Greece. He is a well known criminal in Greece. His reign of criminal activity began in the 90's with blackmail, robbery, extortion, and kidnapping. Basically what he would do is kidnap a well known public figure or one of their kids and then hold them for a big amount of ransom. Then when he got the money he would return the victim unharmed. Then he would take the money and give it to poor farmers in the country side(thus getting his name the Robin Hood of Greece). Also the people that he did kidnap commented that he was one of the nicest kidnappers they have ever had, he treated them very well. He never wanted to harm anyone, so he had a sidekick Altek Rizai he gun slinging partner who never was afraid to open fire onto a group of fully armored cops. Now even if Vassilis Paleokotas was the nicest criminal ever to live in Greece, crime is still a crime so in 95 he was finally caught.
(ready for the awesomest part of the story)
So the prison that they sent Robin hood to was a high security prison. During his routine exersices with the other prisoners outside a helicopter being flown by robin hoods brother landed in the middle of the field, stepping out of the helicopter in a nice suit and shoes made the guards think that is was for the chief of the warden and gladly let him get back on the helicopter and before they could even process that something was wrong and that Vassilis and Altek were on the helicopter it was off. The guards started by firing back but it was too late. He avoided cops in the mountains for the longest time doing the same things as he did before he went to jail robbing, kidnapping, black mailing, and giving part of that money to the poor farmers. But again was eventually captured and sent back to jail. So on Feb 22nd he was going to be transferred from one prison to the next and in comes another helicopter, this time it dropped a rope and Vassilis and Altek climbed up the rope and escaped this time the guards had time to fire back but there was a girl with a fully auto gun raining fire upon the guards to protect the plane. Later on cops found an abandoned helicopter with a bullet hole in the gas tank and they discovered that they escaped on motorcycles and havent been found. This guy is one awesome criminal.

I do love that story. Crime is crime, but jail escapes are awesome. If I go to jail will you rescue me with a helicopter?
