Some locals speculate that Harris-Moore burgles not for the money but to experience the fantasy of the happy home life he never had as a child. According to local sheriffs, he often slips into a house just to soak in a hot bath or steal mint-chip ice cream from the fridge - a "Goldilocks thing," one investigator says. Initially, Harris-Moore seemed to steal only what he needed for life in the woods. "He's a survivalist," says Archibald. The teenager allegedly used one homeowner's computer and credit-card information to order bear mace and a pair...

Notre Dame's brainy standards are a big reason it can no longer recruit as many blue-chip players. Even so, diehard Irish fans argue it's important to the student-athlete ethos that top schools be able to compete in Division I football.
