Seen anyone wandering around with 7,000 Wii consoles?
If you have, pick up the phone and give the SeaTac, Washington police a call because those units are probably stolen.
Sgt. Cindy West told ABC News that thieves pulled up two 53-foot semi-truck trailers and a large box-truck van to a Nintendo distribution warehouse in Seattle Air Cargo?last Saturday evening?and, using forklifts on site, loaded up the vehicles with approximately $2 million worth of Wii consoles.
Then they left.
The following afternoon, warehouse employees noticed the empty pallets where thousands of Wii consoles were supposed to be.
Police don't know how many people were involved with the heist.
"If we don't get any tips ahead of time, it will be the selling of these consoles that will lead to their capture," said West. "It's gonna be pretty hard to hide 7,000 Wii game consoles."
AE: Wii consoles average about $150 right now so 7,000 of 'em would be a little over $1 million.? Methinks 'twas actually Wii U consoles 'twere stolen.
UPDATE: I was right!? A spokesman for the King County Sheriff's Office told Kotaku that the stolen consoles were indeed Wii Us.
