Video games stolen in burglary  

Bookmark and Share
A Mountain View man returned from a vacation on Saturday to find that his apartment had been burglarized while he was gone, police said.

The 24-year-old victim returned to his apartment in the 2000 block of Latham Street on Nov. 24 at about 1 p.m. and discovered that his Kindle Fire, along with many of his video game systems and accompanying video games, had been stolen, according to Sgt. Sean Thompson, public information officer for the Mountain View Police Department.

In addition to the Kindle Fire e-reader, the items reported missing are a Playstation 3, a Nintendo DS, and various games for Playstation, DS, Nintendo Wii and Xbox, Thompson said. Investigators believe that the burglar broke into the apartment through a bedroom window.

Gee, a 24 yr old whose toys were taken....Come on....A man of that age should have an apartment full of books on success, magazines on topic for living and moving up, maybe some guns for protection, etc.. We live in this world of Peter Pan, never growing up, etc. Grown people with silly tee shirts about Mickey Mouse, cd s of head banging music, etc.

Maybe it it time to move to a decent neighborhood, get serious and do grownup stuff.

Sorry pal.

Has anyone noticed how many robberies/thefts/burglaries have happened as of late in Mt. View? No longer a "good" place to live and the police are not on top of their game anymore. Where the heck are the police when these things are happening? I agree with George, maybe I should consider moving to another city. Can't believe how many of these were in apartments and no one heard a thing. Strange.

That part of Latham is the hood. Actually, any part of Latham is considered the hood. If you live there. You should expect to be robbed.

Careful, George, your "grumpy old man" is showing.

Man, that's rough. I feel for this 24 year-old.

At least it made news on the internet.
