More than 23 million yen in GameBoy Advance and GameCube hardware stolen in Japanese heist.

According to a police spokesman for Japan's Saitama prefecture, approximately 23.6 million yen in Nintendo products including GameBoy Advance and GameCube consoles were stolen from a warehouse over the weekend. Reportedly, the products were part of a shipment to one of the district's largest videogame retailers in the Yashio center. Seemingly, thieves entered the building through a second story window by breaking the glass overnight. Based on preliminary estimates, about 600 GameCube and 400 GameBoy Advance units were stolen. It's currently unknown how many software titles were taken in the robbery. The warehouse theft is the latest in a series of videogame related burglaries which have made headlines in Japan over the past several months.

Only in Japan will they go into a warehouse and still 100's of 'Cubes and GBA's. Maybe the Japanese Mafia is behind it
