WOW, You're a Moron: 'Thief Steals Xbox 360; Calls Owner to Come Buy it'

A story of an Xbox 360 gamer turned detective after he was robbed of his Xbox 360, television set and Powermac laptop.

McFearsome writes:

"Those that know me are aware that my house was burglarized on March 12th while I was returning from SXSW. For the uninitiated, my house was broken into around 2:30-3:00pm and they made off with my xbox 360, an old powerbook (which they grabbed the wrong charger for) and ripped my TV right off the wall. Needless to say it was shitty news to come home to, but things can be replaced and I was happy that my dog, who was downstairs at the time, wasn't hurt."

Talk about stupid. The dude actually send a voice message asking the 'owner' to give him cash for his own Xbox ? Wow..

Salvadore5877d ago

I have seen stupid people, but this is beyond stupidity.

decapitator5877d ago

Agreed. That is what you might wanna call the 'ultimate noob thief'. What a dumbass. The owner also did a nice job putting everything together though.

Sarick5877d ago (Edited 5877d ago )

This was dumb but at least he didn't contact the police and ask for money.

A while back some police where driving down the street and an addict thought a drug dealer had given him poor quality product. He ran the police off the road (stopped them) and ask them to help him get his $%##ing money. He complained that a drug dealer ripped him off and showed the officers his drugs yelling at the top of his lungs to arrest the seller for ripping him off. <-- Moron 2.0! O.o

Your right this guy who stole the items was stupid but I've heard about wrose. What I did notice that the police didn't seem to care this guy solved their case. I guess unless you kill people or make news some police don't have enough resources to care in some locations about minor robberies.

lmao, and i thought people were stupid for not trusting Geico!

do you get thiefs that dumb

Megaton5877d ago

What's with you internet people believing crime only happens in America? Are you guys really that dimwitted, or do you just do it because it's trendy to hate Americans?

ScentlessApprentice75877d ago

They hate us because they envy us :)

Cicinho5876d ago

He said only in America do you get thieves that dumb. No how the hell did you get there is only crime in America? It just simply means America has dumb criminals, and dumb internet users going by your post.

reckoner5876d ago

You mean "thieves" that dumb. Thiefs? Ok, smart one.

Megaton5876d ago

3.3: You know exactly what I'm talking about. The "only in America" internet crowd. Apparently America is the only place in the world you'll find dumb criminals.

I'm not the most patriotic man in the world, in fact I'm actually pretty far from it. I despise our government, most members of both the left and the right, and the south (the part of the country where most American stereotypes actually hold some clout).

However, I do get aggravated everytime some numb skull forum person decides that bad things and dumb people only exist in America. Wake up and take a good hard look at the world around you. Stupidity and violence are all around the globe, and if you seriously believe that stupidity and violence are an American exclusive, you only have to look as far as a mirror to prove yourself wrong.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker23h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6923h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt11h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
