This is either one for the “dumb criminal” awards or a new idea for an Encyclopedia Brown story. Or both. Ryan Ketsenburg arrived back to his dorm after a trip to find his Xbox stolen. For some reason the thief had left a wireless controller behind, which was still registering as connected to the Xbox. Those controllers have a 30 foot range. Hmmm, you can probably guess where this is going.

Ryan narrowed it down to one other dorm room, and when with the help of an RA opened it up and found his missing Xbox. The police say the kid hasn’t returned to the room since the incident (which was on Nov 21st), but when he does he’s in for a spot of trouble.

Is this kid seriously on the lam now for stealing an Xbox? And don’t they know who lives there? I would get on the horn to his parents and find him since you know, he’s a criminal. That’s like finding a body in someone’s house and sitting around waiting for 3 weeks until he gets home. “Yep, any minute now.”
