...gone, police believe Rudolph returned to Nordmann's house either late that night or Thursday and took 50 to 75 lbs. of food, including canned green beans, beets, corn, tuna fish, raisins and a large bag of wheat bran. He carried it away in Nordmann's 1977 Nissan pickup truck, which the store owner discovered missing when he returned home on Thursday. Police later found the truck at a nearby campground with a handwritten note from Rudolph inside. The contents of the note have not been released.

Filo just shrugs. "Upgrading is a pain...
...Rudolph reportedly told the storekeeper, "I will not be found by federal agents or dogs," and as if to underline his confidence, according to the New York Times, he even left a handwritten note in the abandoned truck explaining that it belonged to the well-liked Nordmann. That suggests Rudolph may be trying to move toward an endgame, an impression reinforced by one other detail: The fugitive reportedly asked Nordmann for a detailed map of were the federal agents are staying. So far his exploits seem calculated to make him a legend in the fringe world of right-wing militias...
