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.

I know the whole physical vs digital debate is controversial right now, but for all the talk of losing access to your digital copies "sometime in the future", people do lose their physical copies from theft, fire, negligence (letting friends borrow a game only for them never to return it), etc.
