Xbox 360 scalpers robbed at gunpoint.


A group of would-be scalpers were robbed of four newly purchased Xbox 360s while dining at an Anchorage (Alaska) McDonalds.
A group of five males, ages 14 to 24, scored five Xbox 360s early Sunday morning at a Best Buy in South Anchorage. Later, they tried to sell two of those units for $600 each to people still in line. When no one accepted their generous offer, the group headed out to McDonalds for breakfast.
The 14-year-old was left in care of the Xboxes while the other four men ate breakfast inside. At that point, at least two men who had observed the failed scalping attempt and followed the bunch to McDonalds, approached the van where the boy was keeping watch, put a gun to his face, and made off with four of the units. The fifth 360 had been stashed under the boy’s seat. When greed meets greed, the greed with the gun wins.

So... do I need to wear my kevlar vest to my local Best Buy on the 22nd? I mean... I usually roll strapped, but perhaps some extra protection. Just a thought.
