Just before the start of the 2023 Gen Con gaming conference at the Indiana Convention Centre and Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis, thieves fled with a pallet of gaming cards on August 2, reports IndyStar.According to Indianapolis Metro Police, the thieves used a pallet jack to remove the cards.Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) on X shared pictures asking for help from the public to identify two people caught on surveillance video taking the pallet, and wrote: "IMPD detectives are seeking the public’s help in identifying two people of interest possibly involved in a theft of upwards to $300,000 worth of gaming cards."According to Craig Casares, assistant manager at Good Games, a board game store at 111 S. Meridian St. in Indianapolis, taking an entire pallet from a Gen Con setup area is pretty brazen.“It’s more common to have theft of decks or collections and attempting to sell those than it would be to steal a pallet, Casares said.“The amount of either courage or bluffing skills that someone would have to have to just walk into Gen Con and take a pallet and no one stops them... I don’t think anybody I know would have the nerve to go in and do that, he added.Gen Con 2023 convention took place from Aug 3 to 6.This is not the only card game theft in the Indianapolis area.In May, local media reported that a thief broke into a gaming store in Brownsburg and stole about $15,000 worth of Magic: the Gathering cards.--IANS aj/ksk(Disclaimer: This post has been auto published from IANS news agency without any modification to the text and has not been reviewed by editor)
