Man just get a library card! They let you take the games home for free after that!

This is why we can’t have nice things.

What would be the thought process.

To steal from the library of all things.

I got a bunch given to me from the library they were throwing them out

I’m sure the news websites have an entire folder with sad Mario and a few Luigis

At this point he would be less screwed robbing a bank than fuck with the deathstar of nintendo

Libraries are so great and assist with SO MUCH more than books and computers. Support them and use them
OdderShift
yeah this is why we keep all of our game discs/cartridges behind the front desk. its unfortunately pretty common.

When Mario wants his money he really jumps to it

What!? The library has switch games you can check out?!
SaintBrutus
From _libraries_?! Preventing players from getting free games? *OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
^(*Figuratively speaking of course)

Can’t believe the dude still stole eight games

The sad part is he probably got ripped off and took them to GameStop for cash to support his meth habit.

Stealing from libraries is so low. What a loser.

Having fun, isn’t hard , when you’ve got [$10k of Switch games stolen under the guise of legitimately checking them out under] a library card! 🎶

Your library has games????

Don’t steal from libraries you asshole!

Using that Luigi image is hilarious

How desperate must a person be to steal rental video games from public libraries?
SquidVices
That’s fucked up yo
Spooky_Blob
I’m sorry I may be living under a rock, but libraries have freaking games to borrow??

It’s California. Crime is legal.

Wouldn’t be surprised if most of them were Pokemon. My branch had several rented out to never be returned.

Would it count as robbery if he installed them on his rig card?

I hate to sound cynical but I am surprised it took this long. Switch games are so coveted people will steal from kids to get them. This is why we can’t really have anything truly nice in the US.

Bro thought he found a free money glitch lmao

Throw the book at him, stealing from the library is a scum move.
jhsounds
10k? That’s like 12 first-party games.

Don’t steal from libraries my guy, steal from Walmart, it’s _right there_!

Does he not know about
dewhashish
He’s going to ruin it for the rest of us

I wonder if a certain “gaming” audience will start a gofundme for the guy.

What‘s up with people stealing Nintendo products lately? First, the $1.4 million Switch 2 heist, and now this.
MelissaRose95
So he took 5 games?
IsThisKismet
We had a robbery Monday at work. They thought we were getting in 6 more Switch 2 consoles, but they were already removed from our delivery order, likely going to a different store now. So they busted the plexiglass case and got Switch 1s and Beats earbuds instead.

What does this have to do with this subreddit?

Stealing from the library is low.

He stole 5 games??? What a monster
Oddish_Femboy
They let you use those for free.

Libraries have games?
megasean3000
I thought it was so cool that libraries let you loan out games. I remember playing so many games from the library in my younger years since I couldn’t afford the actual games. With assholes like this running around, it takes away the joy young people have to borrow games without committing to a purchase.
