So a guy breaks into the house,sits down at the computer,sees the figure and decides to incorporate the figure into a ransom note? And all of this takes *how* long? I've always assumed that housebreakers want to be in the house for as little time as possible.
They weren't home that evening. He may have had to wait a while until the family showed up......Something to do, mess with the computer. He was a geek ya know. ;^)
