That’s just weird
A burglar breaks into an apartment (why do they call them apart-ments when they’re all together?) and finds nude pictures of children. The burglar turns himself and the photos in and the guy who lives in the apartment gets arrested:
A 20-year-old man burglarizing an apartment pried open a tackle box and found nude photos of young girls, including his little sister.
The man turned himself and the pictures into police, who later arrested the apartment’s tenant, a registered sex offender now facing a possible life sentence after being charged with rape of a child under the age of 13 and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.
One thing I learned working in prison (oh yeah, never mentioned it before but I used to work at a prison) was the degree of hatred criminals have for those who commit crimes against children, particularly sex crimes.

Did you work at Oz?
I don’t think this thief is a hero, but I do applaud him for doing the right thing even at the 11th hour. Pederasts are more a problem than petty B&E types, who eventually will take a load of double aught in the chest.

I don’t think he’s a hero. I don’t know what to think other than that this is weird.

Not sure I agree entirely. Certainly, child abuse (especially sexual abuse) is the more egregious crime. But in terms of commonality, I’m thinking the B&E types are a far more prevalent problem.
Now when you consider that this guy found a nude picture of his kid sister, I can certainly understand why he reacted the way he did.
