Okay this story is just fricking weird…
Thief tips off police after finding child porn during break-in
By The Canadian PressRED DEER, Alta. (CP) — A Red Deer man has been jailed after an outraged burglar spotted massive amounts of child pornography on his computer and called police.
William Mitchell, who pleaded guilty earlier this year in Red Deer provincial court, was charged in October 2005 after RCMP, acting on an anonymous tip, searched his home. An agreed statement says that someone had broken into Mitchell’s residence and taken a video camera. The camera, the tipster said, had images of child pornography and would be left on the steps of a church.
Police retrieved the camera and soon realized the burglar had videotaped a computer monitor displaying images of child pornography.
Following the address printed on the burglar’s note, police seized computer equipment containing 13,315 pornographic images.
Mitchell will remain in jail until he is sentenced on Dec. 1.
Cpl. Greg Brown of Red Deer City RCMP said outside the court that the burglary remains unsolved.
