Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen

Wowzer writes "$2.32 million worth of black Nintendo DS Lite systems stolen in Hong Kong when their shipment making its way from China, where the DS Lites are made, to Europe where the black DS Lites are launching on June 23rd. The Hong Kong police suspected that the black DS Lite units sold in Hong Kong recently were part of the same theft and offers one million Hong Kong dollars ($128,840 or 102,138) to anyone with a tip. So next time you see one being sold on eBay from Hong Kong, give the cops a call."

    I'd blame ninjas. They'd obviously go after the black DS Lites, since they'd go better with their outfits.

    Finally, just which "cops" is the poster suggesting you call? Because seeing as how this theft occured *in Hong Kong*, I doubt that anyone besides the authorities there even care. Your local deputy, and even the FBI, don't give a shit.

    This reminds me of a scene from a Lord of the Rings mud I used to play. It had a law system handled by NPCs for when players have been robbed or killed.

    So one day this Hobbit wanders into the headquarters of the Bywater Bounders to make a report. "Ahem, yes..." he begins. "I'd like to report Sauron for murder..."
