    Maybe I’m being a spoil sport but this seems like a cover to me. Like maybe it was “a burgler” but that person was someone’s older brother who knew what they were going to find.

    I just don’t see the circumstances for a random burglar to be snooping through folders close enough to find the presumably relatively hidden items they’d need to find, let alone that happening alongside the low odds an actual burglar would risk their own security to do the right thing.

      Or prior victim.

      I actually find prior victim highly likely. Life’s already probably fucked up, what’s a B&E charge in exchange for justice? Plus doesn’t have to air any accusations and have their life also ruined.

      While I see your point and truth is we’ll just never know, I am afraid you might be a bit naive.

      This is exactly what burgling is. Having been the unfortunate victim once not even the spines of my books were safe. Burglars watch the same movies, so they will cut into your cushions, paintings, go through folders, behind outlets.

      Then I got way too into a show about two ex burglars who would look for volunteer houses to break into, and yeah. No stone is left unturned and with far more diligence they would ever put in a real job.

        I mean folders internal to the computer. Sure they would look for valuables anywhere but where I’m having trouble is the leap from stealing the computer to looking through the contents of the computer.

        Either they would have to stay in the house and go through things, or set it up somewhere else and risk an anti-theft GPS triggering, and what is the motive? What could they find on some randos file folders? Cleanest thing to do is just immediately wipe the computer and sell it.

          I didn’t search for the original article, but from some articles I saw, CP often resides on a physical medium, especially considering the article is about ten years ago

      It was 2013, people didn’t put a password to open past the lock screen on their personal device back then. The Internet got flooded with revenge amateur porn back then, and it’s one of the reasons why.

      I imagine they hightailed out then called the cops, rather than sticking around

      Found an article about the case, as of the time of the article being written neither of the two burglars had been charged with anything. Haven’t looked much more into it, though.

      Generally in cases like this they get little to no charges related to bulglery.

      There is bad, and then there is worse. Much worse.

    It always annoyed me that Zangief was in the bad guy group. He’s not a bad guy! In either sense!

        Yet in spite of that, his characterization is not that of a bad guy. He just likes wrestling bears.

            I seem to recall in an interview that the writer who included him knew he wasn’t actually a bad guy, but he had bad memories fighting him in the game when he was younger. At least he’s being a nice guy in the movie despite being in the bad guy group.
