No, this is the case, I didn't say the door was left open I said it was locked. I also said the person went in and took something. This is trespassing and this is what the guy did. He broke in (unlocked the door) went inside (grabbed data from the database) and stole something (stored the data on his hard-drive). Some (insert_a_color_here) hackers try to justify this as being for the "greater good" but it is unethical and illegal just as it would be for someone to break into your house and take something even if they gave it back.
