Another bit of weird and interesting news. I mentioned a while back about how Gamefly was working out really well for me, because it costs about as much as a new game every 3 months and lets me play 1-2 per month. Well, that only works when the games actually show up in the mail, which apparently wasn't the case for some two thousand games in Philadelphia.
A US Postal worker, by the name of Reginald Johnson, has apparently been swiping every Gamefly game he could get his nerdy little hands on. In total, authorities attribute the theft of 2,200 games to this man, for a grand total of about $86,000. This was over the course of just six months, and it's expected he may have been doing this for well over a year.
The best part is when these oh-so-elite federal agents finally noticed the one guy stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of mail per month, they botched the arrest, and Mr. Johnson managed to slip past them and into his SUV. He immediately floored it, and crashed shortly after. He was then finally apprehended while trying to escape on foot.
I hope you all appreciate the irony of a man who probably stole at least a hundred copies of GTA 4 having relived one of it's most classic "fail" moments. I'll bet this man will spend the next year in jail waiting for the "Retry" option to pop up.
