Oops, another math criminal on the loose, from the LA Times this morning. If someone from the LAPD or the FBI recognized "Euler's Theorem", then I'm pretty impressed with them! (Back in the 1980's, there was an article about the "art detective" on the LAPD who "knew instantly that a piece was a fake, because the original was hanging in the Louvre" -- we were all impressed.) The LA Times article declined to elaborate on what "Euler's Theorem" said, or what its significance was. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-hummer18sep18,1,5051975.story?coll=l... Man Claims Role in SUV Firebombings A self-described member of the Earth Liberation Front says he took part in Hummer vandalism By Jessica Garrison, Jia-Rui Chong and Greg Krikorian, Times Staff Writers A man claiming membership in the Earth Liberation Front has told The Times that he helped firebomb a San Gabriel Valley car dealership and vandalize three others last month and said the Pomona man arrested by the FBI last week had nothing to do with the crimes. Communicating via three e-mails and in two telephone interviews over the last three days, the man provided details of the attack that authorities said were known only by investigators and those involved in the incidents. He refused to give his name, say where he lives or agree to be interviewed in person. .. He described himself as a high school dropout with a passion for math as well as Greek and Roman history. He gave his age as between 20 and 25. .. Law enforcement sources, however, said details of the attacks match previously unreported evidence. Details obtained from the man in the telephone interviews include: "A math formula Euler's Theorem was spray painted on one of the SUVs as a way of distinguishing the participants' work. "We thought it would be nice to have something a little kooky just in case this happened," he said, adding that he finds the formula "beautiful." .. "I did it," the caller said Tuesday night. He claimed he was calling from a pay phone in Los Angeles County and identified himself as Tony Marsden, but said that is not his real name. .. The caller said he was not alarmed when he later learned that he had been videotaped. "You wouldn't recognize me," he said, adding that he has since cut his hair.
