I mean folders internal to the computer. Sure they would look for valuables anywhere but where I'm having trouble is the leap from stealing the computer to looking through the contents of the computer.

Either they would have to stay in the house and go through things, or set it up somewhere else and risk an anti-theft GPS triggering, and what is the motive? What could they find on some randos file folders? Cleanest thing to do is just immediately wipe the computer and sell it.
