My 1960's Show

In 1960 I turned 12. I already had a rap sheet about 10 pages long and had been arrested for B&E but they never got me for shoplifting or robbing that post office in Barnegat Light on Long Beach Island in 1959 when I was 11.  I went back and they put bells on the wooden cash drawer for security.  I left and hitchhiked back to Ship Bottom.

In 1961 I was just 13, 1962 - 14, 1963 - 15 and 1964, the big year for me, I was arrested with Danny Ferguson for "Grand Theft Auto" in May, 1964 while I was still only 15.:
