This is crazy! Why didn't the parents report it? That's pretty suspicious to me.

Wow!! That might be an incentive for them to stop stealing cars. At least they had some bit of humanity. I will delay my verdict on this matter until we see an autopsy. Because you never know what the real situation is.
One of the events that haunts me until this day was the dead baby in the bag incident that happened to me when I was on duty in the ER one night. The hospital security officer came running into the ER, yelling at me that a woman had found a dead baby in the woman's restroom in the front of the hospital. The poor lady was so upset. Another person came running into the ER with the bag and threw it at me. I went into the exam room and opened the bag and there was this little boy baby, still attached to the umbilical cord, dead in this bag. He had been dead for a while. I just started crying. I could not help myself. We learned later that the baby had been stillborn, which was a relief to me because I though someone had murdered the child. But apparently a young woman had him and did not know what to do with his body, so she brought him to the ER in a bag and just left him in the restroom. That case still haunts me to this day.

What is this world coming to?
Car thieves become public protectors when they are stealing a car - and report a dead baby in the boot to the police. The mother confesses.
Burglars become good citizens when, while robbing a house, they come upon a computer loaded with kiddie porn. The burglars turn in the homeowner. He is prosecuted.
Something is kinda funny here. Wouldn't a fellow criminal think to leave a nasty note for the perpetrator instead of turning the entire matter over to the police? Maybe the burglars and car thieves were angry because there was not enough loot for them? Don't they realize they are really the BAD GUYS as well as the incidental bad guys they've met while practicing their trade?
Is there no longer any HONOR AMONG THIEVES?

OK, you made a good point.
On the other hand, the perpetrators get brownie points with district attorney's office. They will be prosecuted, for sure, but mitigating issues apply here, too.
