A thief with honour. This is a strange story that actually manages to give me pause that maybe there is good in the world. Albeit a warped sense of good. I found a posting on “A Day in the Life of an Information Security Investigator” that led me to this story. Matthew Ryan Hahn, a convicted burglar found more than he bargained for when he looked at the contents on a USB stick that was in a stolen safe. The USB stick had pictures of a man molesting a young girl around 2 years old.
After a sleepless night, Hahn took the card, placed it inside a pink change purse and attached a typewritten note. It said: “Please remove this animal from the streets.”
He wrapped the whole thing in a package that he jammed into a random mailbox. It was addressed to the Los Gatos Police Department.
A year later, Hahn, 26, is in Elmwood correctional facility. Housed in the next building over, in protective custody, is John “Robbie” Robertson Aitken. The 22-year-old with no previous criminal record is charged with molesting his infant goddaughter — his boss’s child.
This action led to the arrest of the man on the pictures. Aitken now faces life in prison and the child in question is safe. I hope this clown gets placed into prison general population.
