HBO’s Inland Northwest — 10.6.09

Pat Gardiner looks at a photo of his Cesna T182T airplane, Monday in his empty airplane hanger in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Gardiner’s plane was stolen from the hanger last week, a theft similar to several other cases of stolen aircraft that authorities are speculating could be the work of Colton Harris-Moore, an accused serial burglar who authorities are currently searching for Harris-Moore near Granite Falls, Wash., near where Gardiner’s plane was found heavily damaged after a crash landing.
