PSP Game Heist at Blockbuster |
Listed in: News, Off Topic Tags: Myrtle Beach
Ó
Thursday night around 8:30 in the evening, a true gaming addict walked into a Blockbuster Video store in Myrtle Beach, Florida and managed to make off with sixty (!) PlayStation Portable games. According to the police report, the thief used his pants to
aid in the theft.A Blockbuster employee told police she observed a man selecting PlayStation Portable games and shoving them in his pants. "The guy's pants were bulging out because he had so many games," she said. The employee asked the man to stop as he left the store, but he fled in a silver Mercury LeSabre with a rental car tag.
The 60 games that were stolen had a value of $1,800, the report said. The store employee, who requested anonymity, did not speculate as to what the man in question would do with all of the games stolen.

Although we have magnetic 'keys' to lock DVD boxes and it seems that Negroes have figured out a way to open them. They just keep coming back and stealing whatever they want.

Sorry if it was offensive.
Has nothing to do with Nazism.
#13 - Good point. Retail stuff is always kept in it's original packaging in a plastic 'secure'. But again...yeah, I don't think a Blockbuster would have that many PSP games for sale. My store only has about 30 for rental...

(or maby he played to much GTA lol)
but seriously have 1.50 and im trying to cut down and quit iso laoding all togeather, sure its fun, but its just as bad as going into the shop and grabbing them of the shelves, we need to grow up, myself included, and focus on how hard game developers work on games, and understand that for £35 a game, its not that bad.
Some people rent games from places such as block buster and dump them, but thats just as bad! so what if you are still paying, its no excuse, we need to grow up, and play games responsably.

I don't know about you, but i don't often here Black people calling white people crackers, maybe its different in the UK? In what i have seen, the white person hasn't taken much offense to it, which is probably why it's seen as a less offensive word than if you were to call a black person something insulting connected with a history of slavery? There isn't really history behind the word cracker, except that it corresponds to the colour of a persons skin. There's a smudge of history behind white 'honkey', but then that is taken more offensively than the word cracker...sooo.................Other than that, we all know it isn't true that all white men have a *****ty jump, that's just stupid, the main white chracter was a good basketball player, sooo...LOL, you shouldn't assume such crap yanno.
Has anyone taken into account that if the store DID have cameras they would have said so to put the guilty man in a certain state of mind, the police would have identified him, or if not have put up some sort of search, that isn't the case, so i assume they don't have cameras, and that it was actually an inside job. What kind of a person acts so *****ty for the place they work for, "he's taking games" - "lets wait until he begins to run"..."Stop sir" *guy runs off *Workers go back into shop and report it.
It's aloada crap.

Then he decided to buy a 1.5 PSP, get homebrew and never buy a PSP game again (like me). Thne he got a NDS, which has not good homebrew and kicka games.
OMG LOLL TEH SND HAD BAD GRAFIKS LOL
So, graphics don't make a game/movie good, otherwire I'd be watchign star wars now. GAMEPLAY makes em fun, *****s.
"Maby he did it to protest at what iso loaders do everyday.

I'm sorry i had to get this off my chest.
The movie "white chicks" is just wrong, if someone made a movie where two white dudes dressed up as black chicks and exagerated everything about them. do you think that movie would ever get released? Hell no! people would call it racest.
Also the biggest problem right know isn't race or color it's the poor vs. the rich!
ohya this artical on this dude stealing the games is either fake or missing information, i don't think any blockbuster keeps thier games in the box's on the shelf.

pick up a history book and educate yourself and stop being brainwashed to hate white people just because they take up for themseleves.
and "reverse racism" is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. reverse racism is when a black guy calls me a cracker and i knock him out, me knocking him out is reverse racism.
free your mind from the anti-white zionist propaganda, you only look like a fool

How about that we both use the same name here.( Yes I have been using that name for quite some time in these forums.)

This sucks to have to subjected to this type of crap and yes insuing that black people are soley responsible for theft in a certain place or area is racist. Also negro is not a term I think fits with the humor of "white men cant jump" the movie is supposed to be funny and not taken seriously or literally, dosent anyone remember Larry Bird COME ON! The two are totaly different thing's.
Anyone who calls a white dude a cracker is an ass and is no better then a white person who call's a black person a *****. I cant belive this ***** is even on this board i think we need a moderator to remove all comments about this and the members who posted them so we can get back on topic. (yes including this comment)
Speaking of which I worked for a blockbuster myself and when you're hired they tell you not to stop people you suspect of shop lifting. So while it may have seemed stupid that no one stopped this guty the people who worked there where doing what they where supposed to, that is unless franchise branches have different rules for shop lifters but I would'nt know anything about that.

there can be TWO (or more) cities called Myrtle Beach. They can be in separate areas of the country. If I was to ask you where Housten was, many of you would unanimously think that I was refering to Housten, Texas. However, there are many Housten's around the world. Prime example: We have a community named Housten right here in British Columbia. Using this logic, Myrtle Beach could refer to any one of the surely many Myrtle Beach's in North America, and hence, it does not get us any closer to determining where this incident took place, assuming that the source was speculating on the state a Myrtle Beach was in.
Second: I find this heist incredibly difficult to fathom. IF the games were on display in that store, they would (as previously mentioned) be contained in plastic lock boxes, which can only be opened by a member of the staff upon completion of a sale. There is NO WAY that he could have stuffed that many lockboxes in his pockets, pantlegs, and God knows where else, and have his pants hold together, much less have him move himself to a getaway car.
For those of you debating on how many titles are available for the PSP, I have just finished browsing the Playstation website. Total games fould in a wildcard search for psp games = 158.
For those of you questioning why he did not attempt to take higher dollar value games, pay attention. There could be several reasons for this. He could want the games for himself, and not have a higher value console. He could have chosen them for the size of the lockboxes.
(anything with a standard disk size in it is kept in a lockbox about 1/3 larger than a PSP or gameboy game.) He could have chosen them for the intent of giving / selling them to a specific person who has a PSP system. Like I said, it could be for any number of reasons.
I have also seen speculation about the thief dumping the UMD's, and then returning them. This would not erase his crime, and would even net a larger number of possible charges that he could face. (Copyright infractions and such.)
And for the sake of remaining neutral, I will reserve comment of the side issue of racial ethics for the time being.
Hoping people read this before repeats,

The crazy thing is finding a Blockbuster store that actually has 60 different PSP games available (none of my local stores have that many and I live in Milwaukee, so it's not like I'm in a little podunk town). Even if they had that many, most of the newer good games that are even worthwhile are always checked out and never in stock.
Assuming that you could find that many different games at a Blockbuster, getting 60 cases in your pants wouldn't be THAT difficult. All you'd need are some pants that can be tied off at the ankles. A lot of the stuff you can buy at Army/Navy surplus stores have straps at the ankle that you can use to tie them off. Get the pants a little on the large side and you've got all kinds of room in each leg for them to fit. Not to mention the large pockets on the sides of each leg. You could probably get at least 4 or 5 cases in each of those.

Fitting '4 or 5' of those lockboxes in any pocket is unheard of. Also, we are talking about 60 plus games here. Not even with pants the size of Jared (The subway headman) could you fit both the games and a person in them, even if you were to tie them off at the ankles. It's just not possible.

And it appears that I misread the google results. There is no Myrtle Beach in Florida. I appologise for the misconceptions in this regard

"The term "cracker" was and is used most frequently in the South, especially in Georgia and Florida. Since the 1870s a nickname for Georgia is "The Cracker State", which is displayed proudly with no hint of insult."
"In the African American community, "cracker" is a disparaging term synonymous with "white trash." (The OED cites the 1830s origin of white trash as a word used by slaves on rich plantations to ridicule poor whites.)"
So, you're kinda talking crap with the whole slave whip crack crap....
