Two burglars looking for blank CDs ended up with a whole lot more after stumbling upon their victim’s stash of child pornography.

One juvenile and a 19-year-old broke into Kraig Stockard's barn in the town of Delhi on Sept. 12 and stole 50 CD-Rs. Stockard had reported the items stolen.

"I'm kind of surprised that he wanted to draw attention to himself, knowing what was taken," said Deputy Tom McKenzie of the Merced County Sheriff's Department.

The suspects came forward and reported the contents of the discs to the Merced County Sheriff’s Department.
