We’ve been reporting for years on the growing spate of Pokémon card thefts, as the market for the shiny cardboard has ballooned through supply shortages and a scalping free-for-all. But in all the many occasions, we’ve never seen someone complete such a theft using a chainsaw. That’s the allegation (via IGN) against Clayton Warren, arrested in Palm Beach, Florida, and charged with burglary and grand theft, after $12,000 worth of Pokémon cards were stolen from the Collection Realm store in Lake Park.
