A truck driver in Arapahoe County, Colorado, recently discovered that 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles were stolen from a trailer en route to a GameStop in Texas. The thief(s) apparently broke into the trailer and stole multiple pallets worth of consoles.
The value of the stolen consoles is estimated to be $1.4 million, as each console is valued at $499, bundled with Mario Kart World. Authorities are unsure when exactly the heist occurred but have released a description of the scene where the consoles were found.
Police are baffled by the sheer scale and audacity of the robbery, which raises questions about how the thief(s) managed to steal so many consoles quickly and efficiently. They also wonder who would be capable of planning such a large-scale theft, given that each console has a unique serial number making it identifiable.
In a tongue-in-cheek commentary, the author suggests that Bowser, the infamous Nintendo villain, might be behind the heist due to his history of kidnapping and hoarding wealth. While this is unlikely, the author believes that someone with no regard for moral values would be capable of pulling off such a massive crime.
