Some video game thieves are smart (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-19-bandits-loot-7-000-wii-us-in-airport-heist), some are sassy (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-16-angry-grandfather-walks-out-of-hmv-with-3-games-after-staff-refuse-to-accept-gift-voucher), and some just don't know when to quit - as is the case with 34 year-old William Gooden, who attempted to stroll out of a St. Louis Kmart with 19 games shoved down his pants. Classy.As reported by kmov.com (http://www.kmov.com/news/crime/Man-shoves-19-video-games-down-pants-at-local-Kmart-walks-out-without-paying-190887781.html), Gooden's haul was worth approximately $500, which means each game was only worth about $26. Allegedly they were for "Xbox and PlayStation," though the report didn't get more specific than that.Bridgeton Police Department Captain Masati said Gooden is being held at a Missouri correctional facility waiting to serve a five-year sentence for a prior offense.Now seriously, those must have been some pants!
