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.
based burglar
I'm nitpicking probably, but shouldn't it be: 'bad guy' not 'bad guy'
Piggy-backing to nitpick something else. Was he burgling or robbing? Those are different things, Robert. You can't use them interchangeably.
Burgling is entering a place with intent to commit a crime
Robbing is theft by force or threat of force
So burgling for sure
Common law and some jurisdictions require burglary to occur at night which I thought was interesting. In many cases, the intended crime must be a felony to be within the definition of burglary.
An example modern burglary statute (Texas) can be found here:
For Texas, the perp must intend a felony, theft, or assault (a lesser included offensive of battery, so no saying I intended battery not assault).
Piggybacking on this piggybacked nitpick with yet another nitpick... Why is Zangief considered a villain in Wreck-It Ralph? Except for maybe one instance in the Street Fighter series, he is always on the side fighting against the evildoers. At least that's the case for every Street Fighter game with a story more complex than "The World Warrior". And in that one exception where he did fight for the bad guys, he was being tricked into doing so if I recall.
Is it... Is it because his country of origin is the USSR? 🤔
I have a vague memory of him fighting with Bison against the good guys in the Street Fighter movie. I might be wrong at how it ended though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The overemphasis on bad guy is just exaggerating the way we already place emphasis on the two different meanings of the phrase.
At least in my accent, I place slight emphasis on bad if I'm talking about an "enemy", whereas the emphasis falls on guy if I'm making a character judgement of a person.
I don't know if I'm making any sense at all, but I think that's what they're going for.
I hope he didn’t get punished, he did the right thing
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.
The burglar really has standards when it comes to be a bad guy
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!
Ahem. Red scare.
Yet in spite of that, his characterization is not that of a bad guy. He just likes wrestling bears.
Right, it says more about the writers and producers including him than anything.
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.
The telephone conversation must've been gold
I'd pay to have it leaked.
