Editing Harry Lyme (section)

=== Home Alone 2: Lost in New York ===
After spending nine months in prison, Harry and Marv escaped during a riot and made their way to New York City, stowing away on a fish truck. Along the way, they acquired a revolver and new clothing, possibly stolen from the truck driver. The duo's plan was to obtain fake passports and flee to a foreign country.

Marv, embracing his quirky tendencies, decided to rebrand their criminal partnership as the "Sticky Bandits," demonstrating his new moniker by taping his hand to collect loose change. During this time, Kevin McCallister, coincidentally in New York himself, accidentally bumped into Harry in a crowded street. Although Harry thought he recognized the boy, Kevin disappeared into the crowd before he could confirm his suspicion.

Later, at an ice rink, Harry decided it was time to change their approach to crime. Acknowledging that stealing goods wasn’t yielding much, he suggested they shift to robbing cash instead. Marv proposed targeting hotels, but Harry dismissed the idea, reasoning that tourists rarely carried significant amounts of cash. Instead, Harry devised a plan to rob Duncan's Toy Chest, a store known for making substantial profits during the holiday season. The pair intended to hide inside the store overnight, steal the money, and leave undetected the next morning.

Their paths crossed with Kevin again after they spotted the McCallister name on a bag he was carrying as he left Duncan's Toy Chest. Realizing Kevin was in New York, they pursued him down the street, only to be thwarted when Kevin broke a necklace, spilling pearls that caused the duo to slip and fall, giving him time to escape.

Marv and Harry eventually caught Kevin when he fled the Plaza Hotel after the staff exposed him for using his father's stolen credit card. After ripping up Kevin's plane ticket to Miami, Marv revealed their plan to rob Duncan's Toy Chest and their intent to kill him, much to Harry's irritation. Kevin once again escaped, causing both criminals to be punched by a woman Marv had earlier harassed, and fled in a horse-drawn carriage. While Harry was uneasy knowing Kevin was nearby, Marv reassured him, pointing out that Kevin had no home to booby trap and was now alone in the perilous Central Park.

On Christmas Eve, as Harry and Marv looted Duncan's Toy Chest, Kevin appeared outside, knocked on the window, took a photograph, and hurled a brick through the glass, triggering the alarm. In their pursuit, they unknowingly stepped onto a makeshift seesaw Kevin had rigged, launching Harry through the air and onto a parked car.

The chase led to the roof of Kevin’s uncle Rob McCallister's abandoned townhouse. Harry attempted to outwit Kevin by convincing him to hand over his camera in exchange for being left alone, but Kevin retaliated by hurling bricks that hit Marv four times, enraging Harry. Harry then attempted to outmaneuver Kevin by jumping onto a fire escape ladder but slipped and injured his back due to the ladder being greased with soap.

Inside the townhouse, Harry endured a series of painful traps, including tools dropping on his head, a blowtorch burning his head and being extinguished with lighter fluid, a fall from a sawed ladder, two hits from an iron pipe, a crushing by a tool chest, a fall from a burning rope, and a varnish splattering. Despite these obstacles, Harry and Marv cornered Kevin in Central Park after Kevin slipped on ice.

In the park, Harry, fed up with Kevin's antics, tried to shoot him. However, the pigeon lady intervened by throwing birdseed at the duo, drawing a flock of pigeons that overwhelmed them and allowed Kevin to escape. Kevin left evidence of their crimes behind, leading the police to apprehend Harry and Marv once again. As they were being arrested, Harry repeatedly kicked Marv for babbling to the authorities about their plans.
