This is the point entirely: he found a door open, informed the owner it was open, who promptly shut it.

Should be end of story but..

In the mean time he nipped in and took photographs of everything he could see.

Now he tries to tell people he didn't do that to prove to himself and his mates that he was there. I don't believe that. It is a standard hacker habit to take something to prove that you were there.

I vwanted to see if you had any unlocked safes in the room I found open is no defense.

Each country need a responsibile disclosure office. InfoSec bods should have the right to responsibility disclose to the owner and the arbitrator, and no one else.

Taking stuff from behind an open door is still theft.
