The middle of Saskatchewan. Hide in a barn for a few weeks, and take a freight train out west, or east. Then rob the nearest house and make for a large city. Find a cheap apartment, stay away from CC's, and do under the table jobs.

I go to a large port in america, find a job or stow away on a cargo ship heading to asia or south america.

Never to be heard from again...

Only take a few high-money items, and only sell one item per pawn shop.
Steal a car (preferrably one that obviously doesn't get driven much, and something nearly-invisible like a 90's Corolla). Immediately go to a parking lot, and switch license plates with another car (preferrably another corolla). Switch a bunch of the other license plates around, too, just to confuse the issue. Using a CC, buy a whole bunch of gasoline containers, and fill them all with gasoline at a local station. Never use that card again. If you planned things right, you'll probably have enough gas to make it to the border. If not, drain another CC. Once across, start your new life.

You sound like a pro.

So, how's Mexico?

I think he might be in Canada. His profile says Seattle, so Canada is closer than Mexico :p ;)

Maybe the profile is set that way to throw you off ;)

Remember, it's all hypothetical, of course; strictly a thought experiment.:)

I'd break into another prison just for the confusion factor.

The airport, then onto a private plane out of the country to someplace without an extradition agreement with the US. Do the Swiss have one? I'd like to live there even if I weren't on the lam (which I'm not so maybe I will!)

It's almost scary how well planned that is.

The closest netcafe so I can login to ATOT and start a new thread with the title "I just escaped from prison! with pole!!!"



Hahahahaha...that's funny! And a bunch of us would post a reply too!
