if the building is unguarded and full of valuable items, someone will loot it. if you're the one that loots it, you get to decide what happens to them. if you don't, someone else will

I’m sorry but that’s a terrible take

> Someone else might loot it, and they could do who knows what with it, so I’ll loot it instead

it's obviously self-serving and can be used to justify just about any act

Bad take, unsolicited pentesting can be a net positive without being exploitative.

it can be used to justify good acts too, not just bad ones

Eeeeh, I think there is a more good-faith take on the events. My personal take is that they were just trying to do the meatspace equivalent of a bug bounty, without even attempting to touch or take any items.

Kinda like how, typically, you would be incliner to file user bugs and report any vulnerabilities you find in a product you care about. Despite having zero monetary incentive to do so (more often than not).
