Fox News - Two burglars looking for blank CDs in California instead found a man’s child pornography stash and turned him in, Fox40 Sacramento reported Wednesday. One juvenile and a 19-year-old broke into Kraig Stockard barn in Delhi, Calif., on Sept. 12 and stole 50 CD-Rs, which Stockard later reported stolen. "I'm kind of surprised that he wanted to draw attention to himself, knowing what was taken," Deputy Tom McKenzie of the Merced County Sheriff's Department told Fox40. When the pair took the CDs home to burn music, they discovered that more than 30 of them contained child porn. They reported the contents of the discs to the sheriff’s department.
What the hell year did this crime take place? 1998? Who burns CD’s anymore? Who has piles upon piles of blank CD-R’s? What do you even play them in?
Are people out in CA still rocking discman’s with the 60 second shock protection (single handedly the greatest advancement to CD music listening, and the worst all at the same time, true you could now listen to your music while doing other activities beyond sitting still, but your battery was tore up by that shock protector, dead before you even finished your Limp Bizkit CD).
Think about it for a second, this guy had to have a legendary stack of blank cd’s for these kids to know to break in and steal them from him. Like some kind of county record, people see him and say “Look there goes the man with the most blank recordable cd-rom discs in the county.”
Of course now they just say “look, there goes the guy that was burning copious amounts of kiddie porn onto his gigantic CD-R stash.” I’m betting he’s wishing he was into collecting CD-RW’s now…Being able to write over that evidence would have been pretty convenient right about now.
