Life as an Ex-Con is Going to be SOOOO Awesome…
By I haven’t had a chance to read the article yet, but the Transylvania Book Heist thieves appear to have told their story in this month’s Vanity Fair. As suspected, the plot was hatched in a haze of marijuana smoke and Ocean’s Eleven/Reservoir Dogs-born enthusiasm. Of interest; they apparently had lined up a fence for the books before stealing them, but then for some reason decided to try Christie’s instead.
Warren Lipka:
“In a few years we’ll be released,” Lipka says in Vanity Fair. “We’ll all be … still young. We will be stronger, better, wiser for going through this together, the three of us. Before, in college, growing up, we were being funneled into this mundane, nickel-and-dime existence. Now we can’t ever go back there. Even if we wanted to, they won’t let us.”
That’s true, I suppose; I’ve often pined for the excitement of having to visit my parole officer every week….
