According to a report from a Bellevue, WA news station, four boys, ages 11 through 15, were recently charged with armed robbery after allegedly holding up a local Chevron Food Stop using an airsoft pistol. The goal of their crime of the century was to yoink enough money to purchase an Xbox 360. According to the police report, the boys got away with around $200 -- just enough to purchase a 360 Arcade and no games -- before being caught by an officer shortly thereafter. The amount of thought that went into this thing is just staggering.
By a stroke of coincidence, four men across town were apprehended after robbing a local GameStop to garner money with which to purchase Slurpees and Taco Dogs at a nearby Speedway. More at eleven.

Those kids are dangerous. Do you know what an airsoft gun could do to your eye? It could irritate it!

These kids are dumb, but not the dumbest in the universe. They were trying to get a great console, fair enough. If they were doing this to buy a Wii, then they really would have been the dumbest kids in the universe.

True, because crimes where people rob from one vendor to pay for another item never happen in other countries.

Why dont let them buy the arcade and wait for microsoft to robe them back with the price of the HDD & Wireless Network Adapter etc etc... They would learn the lesson and balance would be restored.
