Darius McCollum is a very unusual man with a most unusual story. He’s a charming and friendly New Yorker whose great expertise is his extraordinary knowledge of the Big Apple’s complicated and chaotic public transport system. Everyone in New York knows Darius but that’s because he also has a problem, and it’s a rather big one. Darius loves trains and buses so much he can’t stop stealing them – sometimes even when they’re full of passengers. His obsession is proving to be a serious challenge for authorities who don’t seem to know what to do about this gentleman thief and his compulsive behaviour.
