German police received a surprise phone call from a burglar. He called to say he had broken into a residence and found a dead body. He hung up the phone and left, never to be heard from again; not to mention he left without stealing from the dead man. The dead man's identity has not been released at this time, but officials believe the 64-year-old man died of natural causes.
It would be safe to say that Berlin police were surprised and no police department has ever had such a call before.
The burglar never told police his name, only called with his information on the dead man. Therefore, it would be safe to say the man was not a stupid criminal, but he was kind to do what he did. He did not have to make that call, but he did. Who knew a burglar could have such a heart?
The burglar broke into to steal, but upon finding the dead man, left with nothing but the knowledge that he did something good that day. He took a major risk in making the call since if the man had been murdered he would have been considered the doer because more than likely fingerprints would have been found at the scene. However, he did something good, took a risk and the police have decided not to check for evidence of the break-in.
