Top 10 Potential Palace Hideouts


After Osama Bin Laden went into hiding a decade ago many assumed he was in the mountains, holed up in a cave somewhere. Not so. Turns out he was hiding in broad daylight, living in luxury inside a mansion that was much more like a palace than a grimy old cave. Turns out the world's most wanted man didn't want a hole, he wanted a palace. I guess maybe the government should have been searching palaces all along instead of caves. Listed below are 10 Palaces who were too smart to allow Public Enemy #1 to seek sanctuary.

  1. CAESARS PALACE - You'd be amazed how often criminals are apprehended at casinos. Turns out though, with all those cameras you're not as safe as you may think
  2. PALACE THEATER -Could America's most wanted man have hid out in the historic Waterbury theater? With all the patriotic Americans who most likely attended last months John Mellencamp concert I'm thinking he would have been spotted.
  3. THE PALACE OF AUBURN HILLS -I can't imagine what NBA's bad boys, the Detroit Pistons would have done had they found the fugitive hiding out in their arena.
  4. BUCKINGHAM PALACE - With 2 billion people focused on the Royal Wedding last weekend, I'm thinking he would have been spotted.
  5. PALACE OF VERSAILES - The second most popular palace in Europe.
  6. PIZZA PALACE - My favorite pizza joint, located right down the street from my home in Torrington. I sure could have used that $25 million reward had the criminal actually been there.
  7. PALISADES CENTER - The popular mall located off the NY Thruway in Rockland County. Why not hide out in a mall. Teenagers do it every afternoon.
  8. GUGON PALACE (The Forbidden City) - Founded during the Ming Dynasty, one of China's most famous attractions is now a museum.
  9. THE WHITE HOUSE - Many people outside of America refer to the president's home as a palace so why not. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer they say.
  10. PATTIE'S PALACE - Serving a mix of Caribbean/Jamaican soul food, this little restaurant is located right here in Middletown. Could a criminal really have been hiding right on Main Street for all these years. Nah.
