“The Huffington Post reports that the Merced County Sheriff’s Department decided not to arrest the two burglars.”

Excellent decision. Let them go. They could have saved themselves by staying quiet.

They could have saved themselves by staying quiet.

They could have dropped them in the mail to the cops with a note, too:

“We’re burglars, and thought you should know that the guy on 123 Elm street is a kiddie porn fiend. We found these on his desk in the back room, next to the big potted plant. We didn’t swipe his crappy computer because it was old and heavy. You’ll probably find the pervs fingerprints on these, and more porn on his computer and other discs we didn’t steal. Hope this helps. We may be bad but we ain’t evil.”

Or, they could have hired a lawyer to offer the evidence in exchange for immunity.
