I’m starting to believe that games actually do make you violent, because the astounding amount of dumb crimes related to video games that have been popping up lately makes me want to kill someone! We have people killing each other over Starcraft, some dude killing a mentally handicapped person for his Xbox, and now this shit. At least no one killed anybody this time. No, this time it’s just double theft. I’d give this guy serious ninja credit if it weren’t for the fact that he broke the law and gave gamers a bad name everywhere.

Anyway, picture this scenario. A dude walks up to the exit of a store with a crying baby in hand, a diaper bag, and two Xboxes that he can barely hang onto. The store alarm rings and he searches frantically for his receipt but can’t find it. In the end he walks out, barely holding on to his kid. No one would have possibly imagined that he was actually stealing the Xboxes would they? Sounds like something out of a pink panther episode doesn’t it. Well guess what, some guy got away with it!

This very event went down in Dayton, Ohio. A man simply walked into a Best Buy, and walked out via the patented baby distraction method. According to Kotaku, this is a technique taught at “Parisian schools of pick-pocketing and cat burglary” so yeah, like we said, Pink Panther.

Cops are currently on the lookout for the thief. Supposedly, once he hit the parking lot he got into his Kia Spectra and sped away making no attempt to buckle or secure the baby. This puts child endangerment charges on him as well as charges for theft.

Honestly, I’m just happy that a video game related crime was clever and wasn’t some inbred hick killing someone over a lost game of Modern Warfare 2.
