The security company screwed up by calling the cabin immediately. I would have waited as an accomplished thief would know that it was a security check, answered the phone with a ready made story, and argued in court that he would never have answered the phone if he was really a thief. That defense would have allowed for reasonable doubt and most prosecuters know that and probably would not have charged him in the first place.

The more pieces you add to this post, the less I trust Joe.
