Wait, you mean investigating actual crimes leads to discovery of other, actual crimes?
SAY IT AIN'T SO
I'm not sure theft of an ipad is really a "crime".. more like a "favor" in my opinion.

No no, it is a crime. The damned Apple device sells like hot potatoes on eBay. Its theft represents big bucks lost !

"Well, it IS white, overpriced, pushed heavily by dealers, and addictive to the point where criminal activity starts over it. But it weighs more than an iPad. Easy to get confused, boys. Let's head back to the station."

They sell hot potatoes on eBay? How do they stay hot until I get them? They must have some super high efficiency insulation to wrap them in!

The actual lesson is: Criminals are bloody stupid. If I had $35 million worth of drugs in a place, I would avoid doing anything that could get the police into my place.
Or like letting them in without a warrant. FTA:
The officers didn't have a search warrant, so they knocked on the door of the apartment and asked the occupants for permission to come in. They consented, Tomkins said.
But lets be honest, it's not that all criminals are stupid. The smarter ones are currently looking for the original owner of that iPad with some questons about those mp3's he has...
