A Missouri State student is truly the next generation detective after the heist of his Xbox 360 went so wrong. Arriving back to his dorm to find his Xbox 360 console stolen during his departure, he noticed his 360 controller was still there. He also noticed that the controller still connected to the console, which meant that is was within 30 feet of the device.
