Maybe I’m being a spoil sport but this seems like a cover to me. Like maybe it was “a burgler” but that person was someone’s older brother who knew what they were going to find.
I just don’t see the circumstances for a random burglar to be snooping through folders close enough to find the presumably relatively hidden items they’d need to find, let alone that happening alongside the low odds an actual burglar would risk their own security to do the right thing.
I mean folders internal to the computer. Sure they would look for valuables anywhere but where I’m having trouble is the leap from stealing the computer to looking through the contents of the computer.
Either they would have to stay in the house and go through things, or set it up somewhere else and risk an anti-theft GPS triggering, and what is the motive? What could they find on some randos file folders? Cleanest thing to do is just immediately wipe the computer and sell it.
