Thieves Steal $2M Worth of Wii Consoles - GoFuckYourself.com

ING82 · 12-19-2012, 06:26 AM

Police in SeaTac, Wash., are asking for help in tracking down thieves who they said stole $2 million worth of Nintendo Wii gaming consoles.

The thieves managed to get away with 7,000 portable Wii gaming consoles after raiding a warehouse at SeaTac?s Seattle Air Cargo.

?I?ve been a cop for 28 years, and I?ve never seen anything like this,? said Sgt. Cindy West. ?This has come straight out of the movies.?

West explains the thieves drove two large diesel trucks into a Nintendo distribution site inside Seattle Air Cargo on Saturday evening around 9 o?clock. The thieves worked together to snatch up thousands of consoles by operating forklifts within the warehouse. Afterward, they loaded the Wiis into two 53-foot semi-truck trailers waiting outside the center along with another large box-truck van.

By noon on Sunday, employees inside the business noticed empty Nintendo pallets on the warehouse floor and missing trucks.

Police have no information on the thieves and say it?s unclear just how many were inside the warehouse during the time of the heist.

?If we don?t get any tips ahead of time, it will be the selling of these consoles that will lead to their capture,? said West. ?It?s gonna be pretty hard to hide 7,000 Wii game consoles.?

Maybe in 2006, Wii is a dime a dozen now, you can get them for dirt cheap.

Those guys probably have a guy lined up who is going to pay X and he has few guys lined up will pay X and so on and so forth til they reach the streets, possibly by this weekend.

it wasn't me...

BIGTYMER · 12-19-2012, 09:24 AM

I bet they're going to sell them in a store.

They aren't going to peddle these on eBay and Craigslist.

Mr Pheer · 12-19-2012, 09:35 AM

Those guys are lucky they dont put serial numbers on those things.

John-ACWM · 12-19-2012, 09:52 AM

Indeed good luck selling that many.

They'll be all over flea markets in a matter of days

VamosNicholas · 12-19-2012, 10:12 AM

For some reason after reading this I instantly think of Goodfellas and the Lufthansa heist.

Thanks! Didn't know you were an expert on selling stolen goods too.

Do some research smartass. Its not uncommon for stolen goods to be reintroduced into the supply line.

I guess you think they'll sell 7,000 units out the back of their truck? Or maybe one by one on eBay? Or better yet maybe they'll rent a stall at the flea market? Idiot.
