But I didn't get the impression that the thief here really knew what he was after - he seemed to do a really poor job pawning the stolen goods (and settled for a lowball figure in some cases for games that were worth much more).
To me it seems like a boring robbery - they went after the safe because those typically contain valuables (in this case it also contained cash and precious metals). I'm not sure he ever realized the value of the games he'd stolen.

- Nextgrid 4y agoI'm not convinced - if he was aware of the rarity of these items and the difficulty fencing them he wouldn't have taken them. If he was knowingly stealing them in order to pawn them for a lowball figure, he could've instead taken the numerous PlayStations that were also in that store and would've sold for similar amounts while attracting much less attention.
