My best guess is that the victim didn't want to incur slander/defamation charges if the person the laptop was recovered from was in fact a buyer of stolen goods. Even if the guy was the burglar, the victim might be liable for invasion of privacy. I'm really not sure about that, though.

That, and the victim implied that he found the suspected burglar "adorable". Maybe they're dating now, and he didn't want to embarrass his man...
