Nintendo DS foils Illinois burglar
A burglary was foiled this week when the thief apparently became engrossed in a Nintendo DS game, reports the Herald-News.
After breaking into a Joliet, Illinois apartment, the man appears to have been so taken with a game on the homeowner's Nintendo DS that he decided to stop ransacking her bedroom and play it. When the 22-year-old apartment owner returned, the thief fled, taking only a pink iPod Touch -- and leaving the DS.
"The victim's Nintendo DS was on, and it appears the suspect had been playing it," Deputy Chief Mike Trafton told the Herald-News.
Police are still seeking the game-addled thief. So if you notice an increased police presence at the DS racks in game stores around Illinois, now you know why: they're hoping he goes looking for another fix.
