BANGOR DAILY - ‘Hermit’ burglar compound littered with batteries, ‘tons and tons’ of propane tanks, Apr 11, 2013

"When it was reported Tuesday that Maine State Police arrested a man last week who is suspected of committing more than 1,000 burglaries, slipping into camps at night to steal supplies to support his existence as a hermit, many people had the same question: Is it really possible that the “Hermit” burglar, 47-year-old Christopher Knight, survived in the Maine wilderness for more than a quarter of a century? Without a campfire? Without any human contact? Jodie Mosher-Towle, newsletter writer and board member of the North Pond Association Jodie Mosher-Towle grew up in Smithfield and has been talking with neighbors about the “North Pond Hermit” for the past 20 years. The legend grew as owners of camps and homes on the southern end of North Pond reported being burglarized repeatedly."
