I cut this example after a troper added a remark that Frank Abagnale's famous exploits were "fabricated or heavily exaggerated", because obviously that means they are not Real Life. I don't know if there is an example of Refuge in Audacity at all, but in any case an example needs to be written in a way that is clear and not self-contradictory.

This and Bavarian Fire Drill were Frank Abagnale's bread and butter. While his film exploits were impressive, there were some that didn't make the cut that were apparently more so. When he was held in federal prison, he escaped by impersonating an undercover FBI agent who was supposedly investigating the prison conditions. And then it came out that many of his claims were either fabricated or heavily exaggerated.

Edited by LordGro Let's just say and leave it at that.

"A group of 5 people steal a GAS STATION from a Kansas small town."

The link in this one is dead, it needs a new one, or a description of what transpired, else it's essentially null. This is also why we don't rely on external links to explain an example.

In the Giuseppe Garibaldi part someone says the British army was famous for being crappy, but that seems abit wierd considering its track record. I'm considering deleteing that part but I think I might misread it, could someone could give me a source confirming it or explain what it really meant?

Maybe add Bin Laden? Hiding out in a million dollar house 8x as large as any other around right next to the military academy of a country that's getting $3 billion dollars a year just to hunt you down? Sounds like refuge in audacity, but maybe just stupidity, or the complicity of the Pakistanis. And the compound could basically have been labeled, "No terrorist here" for all its subtlety.
