That’s right. Usually it’s the dumb crook of the day; but, this one behaved a bit differently.

“He called to say he’d just broken into a flat and found a dead body,” said a spokeswoman for Berlin police Thursday. “He gave the address of the place and then hung up.”
Officers discovered the 64-year-old resident of the flat dead in his bedroom. The man had passed away about two weeks ago, and authorities are not treating the death as suspicious.
Local media reported he didn’t take anything – just left the scene.
A burglar with a conscience?
An honest crook 😀 just stealing for a living!
They’re people too 🙂
Maybe he simply didn’t want to be suspected of murder. Seems like a sensible thing to do. Doesn’t require honesty or a conscience. It should probably be “sensible crook of the day.”
I think Kurt Vonnegut’s concept of ‘Common Human Decency’ trumps basic anti-social behavior.
Decency.

Consider why the burglar picked the place to rob in the first place. Mail, newspapers piling up, etc. I understand that in independently-minded Germany pensioners dying and not being found right away isn’t all that unusual.
