This is kind of a cool story. Crime quashed(or at least nullified) by the criminals themselves.
Yeah, they're burglars and shouldn't have stolen the stuff in the first place; they'll probably end up behind bars soon enough and rightly so.
But, at least they have a bit of conscience.

Several burglars seemingly had a change of heart after learning that they'd targeted a Southern California charity.
The thieves stole a number of computers from the Sexual Assault Services Center, based in San Bernardino. The alarm company notified the Director of the Center and police were called. But, by the time they arrived on the scene, the thieves had gone.
Two hours later, Stallings (the Center's Director) received another call, this time from police, saying there was suspicious activity at the same address.
When Stallings returned to the center, she found a shopping cart with the stolen property.
Inside the laptop was a written note that read:
“We had no idea what we’re taking. Here your stuff back. We hope that you guys can continue to make a difference in people’s lives. God bless.”
