Seniors distraught after Wii stolen

Friday, December 14, 2007
  

SPOKANE, Wash. -- It's hard to imagine anyone robbing a senior citizens home. But that's what happened in Spokane, Washington, and it left the seniors without one of their prized possessions -- their Wii video game player.

They had saved for it for months, and it was hugely popular as a great way to help pass the time. But someone broke in and took it over the weekend.

They're hoping the thief feels some remorse and brings it back. Otherwise, they're afraid it won't be replaced.

Nintendo will donate one to them. They're awesome like that plus it would be good pr.

If Nintendo doesn't donate one, somebody will.

It'd make the most sense if Ninty did, though.

Yea if this gets some huge publicity, Nintendo will have no choice but to donate one. First if they don't donate one that has huge media attention then they look bad. And secondly its also an opportunity for their own personal publicity and it being good publicity to make them look better in the spotlight. So if it gets the right attention they may get a couple of Wiis back in that place. Just how all that stuff works.

But seriously who steals from senior citizens. That's awful. Just as awful as those fundamentalists who go to soldier's funerals and disturb and spit upon their funerals. Just awful.

I bet the thief feels totally bad ass. And then he realizes he has no friends and cries himself to sleep.
