If it’s about the salmon fly tier who broke into the Royal Museum to loot their bird collection , I heard a this American life on the story. It was fascinating.

Started this book on my last hitch offshore.

I really enjoy it so far.

Yup I read it a few years ago. I really enjoyed it. Dude had some military grade autism for sure.

I would have loved to have been in the courtroom when they pushed the whole Asperger's defense. "This guy did what? He doesn't even fish? No shite, I'd be surprised if he didn't have Asperger's"

I’ve also listened to the This American Life episode on the incident but not read the book. It’s definitely a wild story.

really enjoyed it

found myself almost jealous of all wierdos that traded feathers. Such a bizarre hobby

if you want another good crime book, Ballad of the Whiskey Robber.

Finished it a few days ago, the guy totally scammed the system. And I did verify you can still buy kingbird feathers on eBay.

Surprised you haven't read it yet, based on your posts here and on the OB it'll be right up your ally.
