I am reminded of a story of a British burglar during WW2 who realized the house he was robbing was occupied by a German spy. He promptly reported the spy, and thereby himself, to the police. “I may be a burglar” here told them, “but I am a patriotic British burglar”. @evacide@hachyderm.io

@BenAveling@mastodon.ie And the spy probably was turned by MI5 anyway. German espionage in WWII was famously unsuccessful in the UK.
