(Newser) – Two teenage burglars turned themselves into police when they discovered the CDs they stole were filled with child pornography, reports Fox 40 of Sacramento. Police let them go and instead arrested the guy who owned the discs. What's weird is that Kraig Stockard had even called police to report the theft. "I'm kind of surprised that he wanted to draw attention to himself, knowing what was taken," said a deputy. Police raided Stockard's home and confiscated his computers, notes the Huffington Post.

Hey did these kids discover some sort of 'Get out of jail free' trick? If I break into a bank & discover the bank manager has kiddie porn in his desk, can I get away with breaking into the bank like these guys did? lol ("Two wrongs make a right, Lisa" : h t t p : / / bit.ly/ouSmBy)

Wondering if he hadn't reported the theft would this have been inadmissible in court as illegal search and seizure...since the Burglars were technically acting as agents of the police.
