17000 DS Lites stolen

[noONE]

the DSLs there seem a bit expensive. Assuming they're still $130 in the USA, 17k DSLs would amount to 2.2 million dollars...

Well.. duh, it's Sweden, probably the country with the highest taxes.
(DS Lite is still at the 1300-1500 kronor price tag in Sweden which it was at when it was released.. ( 165$-190$) )

Those idiots got it backwards! Buy the DS's you dolts and steal the games

.
**sheesh** Retards.

I will be selling all 17,000 of my DS Lites in the Trading Forum closer to Christmas time.
Keep an eye out, they'll be selling at a low price.

I wanted to say something like that--it was the first witty thing I'd thought of all day but you'd already said it

but anyways, that is really awful. It's a wonder people resort to such mass-scale robbery for living...

They're priced at around $185 in Sweden and honestly that's way too much. There hasn't been any real differences in price since the DSL was released even though you'd think that they'd lower the prices after a while to boost sales.

I myself got lucky when I was in USA and found a brand new DSL for $110

just wait for someone to mass sell DS Lites on ebay.

That would be extremely stupid but most thieves are not very bright.

True, one guy, his girlfriend and their billy-bob buddy robbed a rich house in the states, then to hide their crime, they put an add up on Craigslist.org giving the address of the house and saying everything in it was free between XXXday and XXXday because of some stupid reason about moving or taxes or something and when the owner got back from Vacation and saw this guy with a wheelbarrow full of his belongings he had a fit.

Another idiot put an add up on Craigslist that he was selling drugs. A cops kid or wife saw it and told the dad/cop/husband and the cop called the guy, arranged a meeting with him and then arrested him all in one tidy little afternoon. How

can you get, people?

Talk about Nintendo fanboyism!

This reminded me of that news where some guy found a PS3 in the garbage.

But they would be able to track you down so easily 'cause they have information on where to find you.. like your home and stuff. The people who stole it hasn't been caught so that makes them quite ingenious.

Like I said the hard part would be getting rid of them. If you know someone you can offload that many stolen items onto then you're going to know someone who can get you documents. You apply for the job, if you're asked to show ID you use the fake documents. Bing bang boom you're away with a bunch of stolen consoles. I've never once had to prove who I was for a job, although I'm guessing at a company like Nintendo you'd have to specially if you're a driver. Even if those lorry drivers only got 2 bucks a piece, but I'd guess it would be more like 5-10, it's still a tidy enough sum to pack up and move somewhere else. I'm pretty sure something like this has happened to Sony in Japan as well.

only had 3 colors out of all 17,000? japan probably sent them all metallic rose nds lites!

Wow that pic of the Nintendo headquarters reminds me of McDonalds.

 

[SylvWolf]

*sigh* Nobody's done this yet? OK, this is very bad and don't take this too seriously, but:

noONE, what is Nintendo saying about the number of DS Lites stolen?

IT''S OVER 9000!!!!!

 

[VISHI SO FISHI]

Ok, Ok , i confess , i stole them!

I am playing a massieve multiplayer fest right now!

 

[hellohey]

nintendo shouldve shipped DSi instead >.

 

[VISHI SO FISHI]

nintendo shouldve shipped DSi instead >.Muhahhahahaha>

 

[Raika]

Those people who stole the DS's would be in serious trouble if they're caught....Who would want to do such a thing anyway?

 

[Regiiko]

Wonder if they'll mass sell them to crackheads that take apart the DSes and sell the individual parts like copper, mercury, etc.

 

[shakirmoledina]

man tht's bad but if nintendo work hard on this case... they can easily find the crooks since 3.2 million is not a joke and so isn't 17000 DSL

 

[lolzed]

ouch to the max!for Nintendo,so sorry

 

[Apex]

Wow that pic of the Nintendo headquarters reminds me of McDonalds.

That's what I thought when I saw them.

 

[thejokerss]

thousands of PS3s were stolen in belgium last year, i havent heard anything about that case since, i figure it would be even harder to sell PS3s...
