A card shop in New Bedford, Massachusetts, was robbed of over $100,000 worth of rare Pokémon cards by an unidentified burglar. The burglar used a hammer to smash into the store at approximately 2:30 a.m. on July 8. Security footage revealed the thief's quick actions, taking only 30 seconds to steal valuable items, including a First Edition Shadowless Charizard and Blastoise. The shop owner, William Gilmour, initiated a public awareness campaign through social media to assist in identifying the perpetrator. No arrests have been made as investigations continue into the growing trend of such thefts.
"They went straight to these high-value items," Gilmour told the New York Times.
"We are small but mighty," said Gilmour, adding that the shop was opened by him and his buddies "for the love of the city and the love of the hobby."
