<human>: About 3 and a half weeks ago two of my buddies (who have been notoriously bad about locking their doors) had their house broken into and everything in their house that had any sort of value was taken. 
So I head to their house yesterday and walk in to their unlocked house, only to notice that no one is home. I could not believe that even after having all of their belongings stolen just weeks before they still did not learn their lesson. I see Buddy #1's laptop computer sitting on the couch in plain sight right when you walk in the house. So I decide to hide his computer in his t-shirt drawer in his bedroom and throw the couch cushions off the couch all across the room. (I told Buddy #1 I was doing this just so at least one of them would know that it was a staged robbery. Buddy #2 is the one worse about locking the doors so he is really the one I wanted to teach the lesson to. I figured Buddy #2 would call his roommate before doing anything too drastic.) 
Hours later Buddy #2 comes home and sees the couch cushions thrown across the room and the computer missing. He freaks out and immediately calls the cops and reports the "burglary". He then calls me and tells me about how he got robbed again and I tell him that it was all me and I just staged it to teach him to learn to lock his doors. I had no idea he would call the cops before telling his roommate or myself. He quickly called the cops back to tell them it was a prank and to not send a squad car, but the cop was already pulling up to the house so it was too late to cancel. My friend got hit with a $500 fine for reporting a false crime. So now I am paying for my friends' ticket. But maybe now he will learn to lock their doors...

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
