7,000 Wii U consoles stolen from warehouse

4.6
Between 2100 Saturday and noon Sunday, thieves managed to steal around 7,000 Wii U consoles from a Seattle Air Cargo warehouse.

Using the forklift trucks already in the warehouse, they loaded two 53-foot-long trailers with at least 64 pallets of Wii U consoles. The estimated value of stolen goods comes to about $2 million.

Among the console pallets there were also pallets filled with Wii U games that were also loaded into a box van.

Please be on the lookout for anyone selling several thousand Wii U consoles described as “an unwanted present”.

VEVO They can easily be traced because they have unique serial numbers. When one is stolen and the serial number is activated, Nintendo can contact that customer, ask where it was purchased from and catch the bad guys. The thing about mass theft is that the product is a pain to get rid of due to its quantity. Them selling them individually is unlikely. They're probably shipping them or looking for some sucker to buy them in a lot. Either way, they always leave a trail. They'll be caught very likely.


best to part them out and sell them then

Where would these thieves even sell 7,000 Wii U consoles? It would be very hard to get rid of that many.
