Man Sold Stolen Game Console. Victim Accidently Bought It Back.


Twenty-nine year-old Jin Yasuda allegedly swiped a friend’s game console. When it came time to sell the console (the make wasn’t specified), Yasuda didn’t stray far from his victim’s resident. That, it seems, was his undoing.

Yasuda supposedly sold the console back to a local game shop. So when the victim’s eldest son wanted to replace the stole game console, he went to the local game shop, where he bought the same make and model. The serial number was the exact same.

The victim’s son showed the console and the serial number to that game shop, which kept the name of the individuals who sell used items. The person who sold that console was Jin Yasuda. They contacted the authorities, and Yasuda was nabbed for theft.

After being arrested, Yasuda told investigators, “I had money problems.” That’s not all — he also had stupidity problems.
