Former Postal Worker Stole 2200 GameFly Games

[Padfoot13]

I wonder if there will be any fallout on GameStop (either the company or just that branch) for this. Pawn shops are liable for accepting stolen property, and anyone else that is buying 'pre-owned' goods likely falls under the same rules.

Selling back that many games should have raised a flag with somebody over there.

thats a good point, alot of gamestops will accept games no matter what, even if its 30 of the same game all still in its original wrapping. But did he even sell them to gamestop? he could have gone to a non-gaming specific pawn shop, or hell, sold them online.

 

[Izerous]

He probably got greedy in the end but started with only a couple here and there. If he only kept to yoinking one or two here and there no one would have noticed, but you take 90 in a day...

 

[Terramax]

What a retard.

Agreed. Who ever heard of a successful getaway in an SUV?

People are worthlezz when it comez to detecting stuff like thiz. You would think that zuzpicion would be raized when I walk into Tzarbucks naked but people are too abzorbed with their own livez to zay "Hold on a minute....".

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

jack thompson will be all over this.

How?


Playing games didn't make the guy do it.

well if he was smart he would have sold the same game to different stores, however i don't think GameFly sends you case, they send you the game in a mailer, like Netflix does and i don't think GameStop accepts caseless games.

i'm guessing he sold it to pawnshops and ebay or friends

That's way too lenient... I say "Off with his head"... Or at least his hands...

Only thing I'm hoping is the people who got ripped off are at least getting compensated by Gamefly.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

That man is a BEAST!! Sucks about having to go to jail though...

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

Is it normal that i find this very funny...

 

[The Real Sandman]

Wow. This guy is three words.

KA. RAY. ZEE.

 

[sneak_copter]

Hm... I feel that "PWNED!" is an appropriate reaction here.

That be a lotta games. Does that make him a pirate? I say that makes him a pirate. Did he have an eye patch?

No, although he did have a parrot.

So, what? 50% Pirate, 50% Pet shop owner?

Doesn't say that he sold or received any cash for them, he could just have been stealing them to have them. Perhaps he was trying to run GameFly out of business or screw over the gamers in the area. Maybe he's a gigantic Halo fan, and was tired of being pwned, so he was stealing all the games so they couldn't play.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Wow, becoming a post office worker just looked a little better. Not grabbing 2200 games mind you, just once every two months or something. I would never have to pay to play ever again!.

 

[SteakHeart]

Interesting. Looks like he-

*Puts on sunglasses*

Went postal.

 

[LazerFX]

And to think, here in the UK we're complaining because the lazy oddities at the postal service aren't working - they think they need more money or something, or to walk slower... whatever.

At least they're not stealing everything that goes through their hands!

 

[Pimppeter2]

People are so dumb, why not just steal a couple a month, instead of a bunch. He probably wouldn't have been caught

 

[ironlordthemad]

do you reckon he played any of them?
or was it all about the money?
if he did he would get a brilliant gamerscore...

for all of the evil of this man, its still impressive he managed to steal 12 games a day

 

[SilentHunter7]

Isn't tampering with people's mail a felony? If so 12-18 months for 2200 counts of that, on top of all the reckless driving charges they can pin on him for running seems...light.
