If you pre -ordered one Nintendo Switch 2 From the gamestop there is a chance that your console was part of a shipment of $ 1.4 million stolen from a semi truck in Colorado.
In what can be described as a truly “Heist mode”, 2,810 recently published Nintendo Switch 2 consoles from a Colorado truck stop, and left the law enforcement that strolled after answers and appeals to the public for all information about the incident.
According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, the massive Nintendo Switch 2 theft was discovered the morning of June 8 at A Love’s Truck Stop in Bennett, Colorado. The truck driver was preparing for the next stage of the trip when he noticed that the trailer had been broken into. Inside was a gold mine of 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 devices, each valued at $ 499, graduated from Nintendo of America’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington. The final destination for the consoles was a gamestop in Grapevine, Texas, but unfortunately they never managed it.

The driver told deputy members that he did not know what was in the trailer, only that there were games or toys, the sheriff’s office noticed in a Facebook post. It is still unclear how accurate the hoist happened, how the robbers managed to take such a huge burden from the truck and where they disappeared.
“If they were caught, the suspects may face charges for crime theft valued at $ 1 million or more, as well as criminal mischief,” said the sheriff’s office.
Although it may seem that the thieves are hitting the jackpot at a time when the demand for Nintendo Switch 2 is at a highlight, the illegal feature can eventually not be worth much for the robbers. Alternatively, they can make a lot of money selling these consoles, with customers who become the final victims of the theft.
Each Nintendo Switch 2 device has a unique serial number, and Nintendo can remove disabled stolen consoles, making them useless for resale or online games. This means that anyone who buys a switch 2 from unofficial channels without knowing one of these devices and ending up with a walled device.
So if you look a lot at a switch 2 from a source you don’t know or trust, you may want to think twice before buying it.
