This is an excerpt of a Brian Day story running in tomorrow's newspaper. I think it enhances my theory that the world has turned into a giant game of Grand Theft Auto IV:
Three recent video game store robberies in which thieves seemed more interested in games, not cash, might be connected, authorities said Tuesday.
Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Major Crime Bureau are investigating a possible link between robberies at GameStop locations in Rosemead, Pico Rivera, and Bellflower that occurred between April 22 and Sunday, officials said.
The most recent incident was at a Rosemead GameStop store, located at 3000 San Gabriel Blvd., said sheriff's Sgt. Tri Hong.
Four robbers stole six PlayStation 3 video game systems and fled, said store manager Jovan Sanchez.
At least one handgun was used in the crime, Hong said.
Sanchez described the robbers as well-mannered and who said "please" as they demanded the video game systems.
