Was looking at this article on ign but rather make my comments here:

http://www.ign.com/a...airport-robbery

Alot of the peoples comments are that why would anyone steal Wii Us because their just paper weights and not worth anything and other such nonsensical comments.

The article says the police are waiting to hear about a sell of 7000 usnits and then they will find their theifs.  If the thiefs are that stupid then yes they will get caught but chances are if they are capable of stealing 7000 units uncaptured with no witnesses they will have a better plan.

I want to know what your plan would be, here are my thoughts:

If the theifs are patient, they can sell them one at a time on 4 different accounts on ebay and 4 accounts on Amazon, no more than 50 units per month.  They should also be sure to sell other things other than Wii U units.  They could also set up an Amazon account.

What the cops should do is hunt down the serial numbers of the units if that is part of the shipping manafest, if it's not then their pretty much SOL unless they find out info from an informant.  If the serial numbers are known they should be able to hunt down the source by hunting down the path that one of those Wii U's was purchased.

What do you think?

Priceless.

Is this another robbery or the one from a day or three ago?

They could make around two million. I think that the cops will find out who did it, 7000 is alot and the boxes are pretty big so hiding them will be pretty hard.

Thread already exists in the Wii hardware forum.

How ridiculously bad is security at this airport that someone can walk off with 7000 video game systems - this blows my mind. *note to self , don't use that airport in Seattle - EVER*
