What Bothered Me Most Was Their Lack

I Made A Lot Of Exits Through Side Doors, Down Fire Escapes Or Over Rooftops. I Abandoned More Wardrobes In The Course Of Five Years Than Most Men Acquire In A Lifetime. I Was Slipperier Than A Buttered Escargot.

I Stole Every Nickel And Blew It On Fine Threads, Luxurious Lodgings, Fantastic Foxes, And Other Sensual Goodies. I Partied In Every Capital In Europe And Basked On All The World's Most Famous Beaches.

I Always Tell People What I Did 50 Years Ago As A Teenager Is Now 4,000 Times Easier To Do Today Than When I Did It. Technology Breeds Crime - It Always Has And It Always Will. There's Always Going To Be People Willing To Use Technology In A Negative, Self-serving Way. So Today It's Much Easier, Whether It's Forging Checks Or Getting Information. People Go On Facebook And Tell You What Car They Drive, Their Mother's Name, Where You Are Going On Vacation, Where You've Been On Vacation. There's Nothing You Can't Research In A Matter Of A Couple Of Minutes And Find Out About Someone.

If You Happen To Tell Me Where You Were Born, Your Date Of Birth And That Kind Of Information, Then I'm 98 Percent Of The Way To Stealing Your Identity.

The Former Police Chief Of Houston Once Said Of Me: "frank Abagnale Could Write A Check On Toilet Paper, Drawn On The Confederate States Treasury, Sign It 'u.r. Hooked' And Cash It At Any Bank In Town, Using A Hong Kong Driver's License For Identification."
