K-mart thief caught snatching gaming hardware

January 14, 2008 in News comments 6

Seemingly not content with his pay at K-mart, a light-fingered employee has been caught putting Xbox 360 HD-DVD players and PlayStation 3s into the boxes of other electrical items before purchasing the other items and making off with his haul.

While the Sheboygan Press doesn’t reveal the per-hour payment rate attributed to the contract of 21-year-old K-mart employee Nathaniel Gustafon, it’s unlikely that his terms of employment as a shop assistant included making up any financial shortfall by helping himself to significant amounts of gaming goodies.

    He totally deserved it. Stealing isn't cool. Your meant to work for what you get, not just take it. All it does in the end is end up hurting something or someone.

    ZOMG! Maybe he is the one that stuck a phonebook into that kid's PS3 box?

    Lol ;;

    But yeah, if you're gonna steal, you have to accept that you'll get caught eventually >_>

    Either accept that you'll get caught or quit while you're ahead. xD I wouldn't mind claiming that stolen property.

    I don't see how this even deserves an article, it seems these days that anything happening any where, even remotely involving video games in any way is newsworthy. Not just official press releases and interesting stuff.

      If it were just heavily on video games, this place would be pretty dead. I like reading up on different yet related game news from time to time...besides, just how many times do articles like these make it here? Did you miss the trailers and other news on the same page?

      It involves video games to a great extent, and a somewhat clever scheme in accessories for a console or the console itself. I mean, I understand how you would see this as irrelevant, but being too strict on news here and what's posted would make it a bit...dull don't you think?

      Even the New York Times, a top paper, has it's little comics and such here and there. GameGrep - Social Game News - Latest Info, Rumours, Video and Media.

    People these days just get dumber by the day. Why would you keep stealing, I would of just take a few and put in my two week notice and probably get away with it. But noo people have to be greedy and keep taking. The guy deserves to pay everything back in full price and be sent to jail till the amount is paid.
