Gamefly, the biggest game rental company in the US has caught the man they say is responsible for the theft of over $86,000 worth of games. When Philadelphia area Gamefly members suddenly stopped receiving their monthly game rentals, they knew something was up. The criminal behind this theft was 34 year old Reginald Johnson of Germantown, PA, the postal worker who processed mail for these specific Philadelphia areas. When the feds finally caught on to Johnson, he had already stolen over 2,200 games and traded many in to a local Gamestop for store credit, trying to cover up his tracks.

Obviously, this man wasn’t smart enough to completely cover it up, leaving over 79 games in his car after a long car chase with federal agents and trying to make off on foot with a duffel bag containing another 81 games. Reginald Johnson is currently facing 12-18 months in prison after his sentencing on January 13th. What an idiot!
