Two unidentified men robbed a GameStop in Orange Country, Florida on Tuesday, rushing in just after the manager opened for business. Holding him at gunpoint, they filled their duffel bags with PS3s, Xbox360s, Wiis, and assorted games before grabbing the security tape to maintain their anonymity. Their apprehension of the security footage has lead local police to believe they were either professionals or it was an inside job.

While preparing to leave, the hoodlums had a moment of realization and decided to take all the cash in the register and safe. Cash as an afterthought? During an armed robbery? Obviously we're looking for two very short-minded criminals, or some ambitious yet not so bright strip-mall employees, and since this happened in Florida, that covers just about everyone.

This amuses me, because our new assistant manager just moved here from Florida.

Who needs cash when you got game?

... I'm sorry, that was terrible. Embarrassed

well i imagine if the manager jsut opened, the register probably didn't ahve much money in it. they probably decided that grabbing the $600, $400 and $250 game systems and $60 games first would net them more profit. it's liek supermarket sweep dudes, you always go for the turkeys and the hams first, then move onto the gallons of milk.
