7,000 Wii U consoles stolen from warehouse

4.6
Between 2100 Saturday and noon Sunday, thieves managed to steal around 7,000 Wii U consoles from a Seattle Air Cargo warehouse.

Using the forklift trucks already in the warehouse, they loaded two 53-foot-long trailers with at least 64 pallets of Wii U consoles. The estimated value of stolen goods comes to about $2 million.

Among the console pallets there were also pallets filled with Wii U games that were also loaded into a box van.

Please be on the lookout for anyone selling several thousand Wii U consoles described as “an unwanted present”.

KingArty WOW, where's the security? It should take at least an hour to load 7,000 Wii U's onto two trucks. >.>


With one stackertruck/forklift , presumeabley a ounterbalance one as shown in the video(as they were onsite and thats what equipment they used so must be what the thieves used) then someone with fairly decent experience on forklifts can easily dependant on where the stock is stack ATLEAST 1 pallet every minute.
