Dozens of people combed thick forest near the small town of Granite Falls, hoping to find a teenager suspected of stealing a plane from an Idaho airport.

Police believe 18-year-old Colton Harris-Moore hot-wired and stole the air craft from the Boundary County airport, then crashed it.

Even more attention turned to the crash site when someone in the area fired a shot at deputies responding to a break-in in the area.

The thief made off with shoes, food and blankets.

Investigators believe the same man has stolen three other airplanes in the last year.
