Thieves steal nearly 900,000 euros worth of Pokémon cards from delivery van in the US
A theft occurred in Los Angeles involving valuable Pokémon and sports trading cards, with an estimated worth of €857,000. The thieves stole two full boxes and part of a third. The cards belonged to collectors across the U.S. and were sent for certification. The company involved will reimburse customers for market value and certification costs. The digital certificates for the stolen cards have been deactivated, and traders have been alerted to watch for the serial numbers. The value of rare Pokémon cards has surged recently, making them attractive targets for thieves.
