Crime and PSPunishment
A Virginia man walks into a GameStop and runs out with 12 PSP Value Packs.
The frenzy over the PSP's US launch has crossed over to the wrong side of the law. According to The Charlotte Observer, a man in Charlotte, NC, decided to grab some PSP Value Packs via five-finger discount on Tuesday night. The crook reportedly moseyed into a GameStop store after the retailer received its shipment of PSPs. Then he entered the storeroom and walked out with 12 PSP Value Packs. When confronted by an employee on the way out, the thief attempted to "knock her glasses off her face" and continued on his way out of the store. The perpetrator remains at large.
Should be easy enough for law enforcement to track him down on ebay (if they are worth anything). I'm sure that's where every last one of them is right now.

That's sucks. What a dick that guys is trying to hit a chick. I do know the GameStop near me often has this lone Female on duty when I go there in the mornings. I know it's a money thing but I've always thought it would be better to have another worker there.

How do you walk out with 12 value packs? Is that possible to carry 12 of them through the storeroom door at the same time without a dolly or something?

how did he even get into the storeroom? aren't they usually locked? I work at TRU and ours always is, so we don't get fools like this.

If not ebay, the police should check out any wal-marts in the area. I can see him going into wal mart and just returning them for store credit. They accept anything without a receipt. That happens all the time near mine...From what I've heard from an employee friend, some guy has traded in 7 game cubes without receipts in the past 8 months.

How else would you get rid of a gamecube? ;)

I doubt they have any record of the serial numbers on the units so it would be impossible to track via walmart or ebay since their will be tons of people selling multiple units on ebay. unless they have film of him or get a good description from the employee he will probably get away with it

Not to go off topic, but I have some PSP's (~12) for sale/trade in the exchange forum.
