I heard on the news on my radio yesterday that some guys broke into a school in Sweden at night and got into a classroom (seen on CCTV). But they did not steal anything, they only correctly answered an entire sheet of maths questions that was lying on the teacher's desk.
I can't find an article online about this, and it sounds hilarious so I want to find one, help!
Ah, Norwegian, I was close.
Thanks Warpe.
How can they call him a "burglar" when he didn't steal anything?
This is exactly the reason why I leave my door unlocked every night. On the off chance someone sneaks in and finishes my Aero hw, it would be totally worth it.

Im guessing they are assuming that the 'burglarers' did indeed intend to commit theft, however they stumbled upon the worksheet and became intrigued, finished it, then left completely forgetting thier original intent. duh?
