Theft Of Electronics On The Rise
Even though overall property crime has fallen, reported thefts of video game consoles and other high-end electronics are on the rise. FBI data show theft of DS and PlayStation systems has jumped 285% over three years to 42,615 in 2009 (number of thefts for consoles was 11,074 in 2007).
It's well-known that the holidays are the most common time for electronics theft and smaller, portable items are the most targeted. With the holidays among us just be sure to keep an eye on your beloved game systems. Have any of you been a victim of electronics theft?

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
