Coomber remembered nights spent sneaking out:"He'd come and sleep over at my house, and we'd sneak out during the middle of the night. We'd go down to the local theater and climb the 50-foot tower atop the building. Other adventures took them to Bel Air, where Redford would break into the empty mansions of wealthy families wintering elsewhere. "Bob wasn't out to steal anything – he just wanted to see how the 'other half' lived," Coomber said. "At night Bob and I would go from gas station to gas station taking whatever gas was left in the rubber hoses that led from the pumps," Coomber recalled.
