GameRoom Essentials burgled
« on: August 14, 2012, 07:33:34 AM »
Just a quick heads up. Can you keep your eyes open for the following:

 Whirlwind pinball
 Lethal weapon 3 pinball
 The Addams family pinball
 Police force pinball
 Super hangon upright
 Space invaders cocktail
 Jukebox blue carpet
 Bartop with street fighter marquee
 Ms Pacman cocktail with 60in1
 3 x Hankins (2 x 60in1 and 1 x mame)
 Large Pacman stuffed toy
 7 x hour glass stools
 
 If you hear of anything that could be from this list, then please alert me or the police ASAP







Thanks.

That's a planned job, for sure. No one would go to that trouble. Hopefully insurance will help out and the thieves caught.

STOLEN PINBALL AND ARCADE MACHINES
« Reply #7 on: August 14, 2012, 08:06:15 PM »
Saw this on ebay, keep a lookout SA members, some low-life has stolen a heap of pinballs and arcade games.
They would be pretty hard to sell in locally without someone hearing about it.

I've stickied the topic so that it remains visible until the machines are recovered. I'll be keeping my eye out as I do get a lot of potential leads. I'd like nothing more than the thieves to be caught and brought to justice.

Terrible turn of events


Thieves are the lowest of the bottom feeders.  Very unusual to steal these type of items.  Truck with a hydraulic lift, trolleys and at least two thieves.

Not a random target and obviously well planned and executed.  No doubt the thief will be known to the victim or at least been in the showroom to see the items.

Best of luck getting them back.

Very sorry to hear about the loss. I hope it's not someone you know as that would be bitter sweet in the end too

Bloody hell that's ballzy!
They would've had a truck for sure.
It's a shame the machines are all fairly common, it would be easier to spot them if they were rarer.
I'm going to put a special mark in all of my machines in case this ever happens to me. Only way to be sure they're yours.
I hope your insurance company doesn't stuff you around.
