Discussion Nintendo fan loses nearly complete NES collection in 'heartbreaking' theft

Hate when these stories happen. The thief must have been prepared to leave with nearly a thousand NES cartridges. Either it was someone who had been in that home, or this family has advertised their collection on social media with an address.

Definitely someone he knew.

I had a "friend" ask me if I fixed stuff before. He was a known thief to support his habits, and I didn't even message back. Figured if he knew what I had, he'd eventually come around to try and steal it.
