I am reviewing all the old articles.
This is interesting. The wording in this article, suggests that LE found the stolen items (condoms), in the search of SM's apartment, and then he admitted it.
I am going to speculate here, and suggest that the condoms (and whatever else) must have been stored/displayed in such a manner as to indicate that they were not his, or there was something else of a suspicious nature to suggest they were stolen, kwim?
Also, what was the basis for obtaining the search warrant, if LE did that PRIOR to finding evidence of the theft, and PRIOR to having him confess?
I don't think I would necessarily conclude they found the items at all based on that article, let alone that they were on display in some way. For instance, they may have found the key and questioned him about what he's done in other apartments, and he may have just blurted it out. I don't think that article gives enough information about that aspect to form any conclusions.
Was there a warrant or was it a search with his permission? I wasn't following closely early on.
