When the owner of the home returned, he found his house had been broken into. But then he noticed that Facebook was open on his computer. He saw that it was someone else's profile.

So, he left comments on Wig's Facebook profile. Eventually Wig got in touch and promised to return things he allegedly took. When Wig started to walk up to the home later to return stuff, the homeowner called the police who arrested him.
