As if our faith in humanity wasn't low enough, we had to stumble upon this story about a Wii robbery in Wilmington, Delaware. The apocalypse must be closing in.You see, a 41-year-old man had set up to sell his Wii (we have no idea why he would do such a crazy thing, but go figure) at a parking lot (using craigslist?) to 19 year-old Darryl Cebenka, when, during the transaction, another hooded individual robbed both men of Wii and money.
Apparently, the robbery was staged and the hooded individual was the 19-year-old's accomplice, 20-year-old Rocco Grossi. They both made off with the Wii and have been charged with a robbery conspiracy. Sadly, both men are still at large.

Wait... WHY would you sell a Wii at a parking lot?!!
You could SO sell it for higher on eBay.

For all the time they wasted planning this retarded skit. They could have gotten real jobs and maybe been able to afford a Wii (Cheapest of all consoles btw).
Idiots..

I think what bothers me most is that they STOLE a Wii...
... a Wii? A Wii!! Why not an 80GB PS3 or a Xbox360 Elite?! Something WORTH STEALING.
A friggin' Wii! Cheapest of cheap systems. Something cheaper than their phones!
What the hell, seriously.
It's like stealing someone's printer instead of someone's computer... O_o

i bought my wii on a blockbuster video parking lot. actually the guy seemed really paranoid so made me go inside blockbuster where there are cameras before we made the exchange. i guess the scenario from the story is what he was so paranoid about, i just thought he was a tweaker

@ Sk: There was only two of them, they'd be unable to carry the ps3/360 ;)
But hey, any press is good press. Unfortunately for the crooks if they like stealing they won't like the Wii, not many games like that..............

This same thing happend in my town, it was even in the news paper.
Only difference was, the system was a PS3.
the guy bought it from 2 people and when he got home the box had rocks in it!
Totally Sucks..
