PLEASE NOTE: EDIT CONTAINS CONVERTED 4:3 MATERIAL
Colton Harris-Moore became notorious as the Barefoot Bandit during a crime spree across nine U.S. states and British Columbia in Canada.
The 20-year-old gained his nickname after shoeless footprints were found at the scene of some of his crimes.
On Friday his criminal career was finally at an end as he pleaded guilty to more than 30 charges at a court in Washington state.
He's already admitted further offences in June when he appeared before a U.S. federal court.
The high-school dropout is a self-taught pilot who made his get-away in stolen planes, cars and boats after breaking into dozens of homes.
His two-year crime spree began after he escaped from a juvenile detention centre in 2008.
He was captured last year in the Bahamas after crash-landing one of the planes he stole.
After months of legal bargaining Harris-Moore has agreed not to profit from his crimes.
He's also signed a movie deal in which 1. 3 million dollars will be used to compensate his victims.
He'll be sentenced later.
