If you decided to steal from a GameStop, what would you grab? The expensive consoles? As many games as you’re able to dream of? If you’re one man in Meadville, Pennsylvania, theanswer is easy— keep it simple, and just get all the copies ofModern Warfare 2.
This man, currently at large, entered his local GameStop and told the clerk that he had a friend outside with a gun who would shoot anybody attempting to contact the authorities. He then nabbed one hundred copies ofModern Warfare 2, along with a few other items, and made a run for it. It’s said he was able to leave wiith $6,900 worth of goods.
I’m amazed at the man’s audacity, and almost want to crown him a hero for such a bold move, especially since my cynicism tells me therewasno friend, and he lied about the whole gun thing. If he truly walked into a GameStop, pretended some mythical guy was outside with a gun, and walked away with as muchModern Warfare 2as he could carry, then I say we should not even attempt to bring him to justice, for he hasearnedhis crime.
If you’re in Pennsylvania and you’re buying a copy of Infinity Ward’s latest game from Craigslist, be warned — you may very well be buying from a legend.
